Is there a single parent exception to all those? Or should I just
write it as:
try:

catch Exception:

You're right, Exception is the parent of (almost) all exceptions.
I wouldn't advise writing such block catching all exceptions, it makes
error tracking quite difficult. However if you don't know the type of
exception involved in a particular case, you can write
try:
...
except Exception, excInstance:
print excInstance.__class__.__name__
print excInstance.__dict__
If you know how to trigger the exception, it should print the class name
of the exception, along with its attributes. It will help you then write
a more focused except clause.
