Is something missing here?  The comment text seems cut off.

There should be a ; at the end of the first line, but I think I will 
rewrite the comment instead.

+            except:
                  return None

"except Exception" may be better here.

Idle's Shell catches all exceptions. I think the attempt to provide an 
optional help (a function signature) should too.
