It is almost *always* wrong to use "except:" in a Python program. Seeing
that in some code should make you *very* suspicious. Sometimes, it can hide
some problems that you really want to see. In the case below, you're
catching it and throwing away the information -- the name of the exception
isn't even printed, let alone a traceback.
I don't know the code here, but I'd recommend thinking things through a
*few* times if you ever find yourself using "except:"
