That would be a reasonable approach. Note that if there are multiple
possible exceptions that you want to handle with the same reaction you can
use a single try...except. Example:
def check_backpacktf(steamID64):
try:
data = download_data()
status = extract_status from_data(data)
except (DownloadFailed, MissingData):
status = default_status()
return status
Also to keep in mind for the occasion when you are going to reinvestigate
`with`:
with open("not-there") as f:
data = f.read()
This will throw an exception, and `with` offers no way to intercept with
that as __enter__() has not been called yet.
