That's a dangerous practice. Python doesn't catch all such errors when
the script executes. If you put the error inside a function that isn't
called except under special, rare circumstances, you won't notice
until you encounter it. Furthermore, if you forget about an error, it
will stay there, as a bug, until someone tries to execute the
offending piece of code.
