Comment(by spice):
Hi Rob
On the issues you've raised:
1) `type(E[1])` changed to `E[1].parent()` in the example as per your
suggestion.
2) Regarding the naked except clause, I tried to add a catch of
`ValueError`, but the function was still breaking. I wasn't able to figure
out why, which is why I defaulted to catching everything. I figured this
was okay, though, since this was just one part of a multistep coercion
attempt - and thus errors are to be expected. Thoughts?
3) Inline comment streamlined to a single line.
Simon
