I don't quite understand why the google python style guide recommends that packages and modules we write should avoid using the catch-all except. Instead the guide encourages you to write domain specific exception classes.
class Error(Exception): """...""" class ThisSpecificError(Error): """...""" class ThatSpecificError(Error): """...""" try: ... except mylib.Error: ... REF. http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html?showone=Exceptions#Exceptions Thoughts?
