I'm trying to simplify a try-except construct. E.g. how come

Cannot be simplified into this:
try:
_x, pathname, _y = imp.find_module (mod, mod_path)
return ("%s" % pathname)
except ImportError:
except RuntimeError:
pass
return ("<unknown>")
Like a "fall-through" in a C-switch statement.
try:
_x, pathname, _y = imp.find_module (mod, mod_path)
return ("%s" % pathname)
except (ImportError, RuntimeError):
pass
return ("<unknown>")
That handles the identical case. C-style fall-throughs where you have
one switch have just a bit of code before the fall-through kicks in (the
slightly non-identical case) is often the source of disastrous code errors.
