If you're running some sort of checker (pylint, pychecker) over this,
you might get a warning about the "name" line not doing anything.  To
avoid that, you'll sometimes see a variant like this:

try:
    unused = name
except NameError:
    # variable 'name' is not defined.

Except then PyLint will complain that 'unused' is unused, plus you code no longer accurately conveys its intent.

I prefer to filter (or disable) that particular warning rather than change the code.
