Could you post a simple example or two? I keep imagining things like::
index = text.index(...)
if 0 <= index:
... do something with index ...
else:
...
which looks about the same as::
try:
index = text.index(...)
... do something with index ...
except ValueError:
...
Is it just that a lot of the else clauses are empty?
