Please post the traceback that you get.
My guess is that you are passing a string instead of an integer, probably
for the port.

As a general rule, a bare except of that fashion is bad practice. Unless
you can explain why it is normally bad practice, *and* why your case is
an exception (no pun intended) to the rule "never use bare except
clauses", I suggest you either:
* replace "except:" with "except Exception:" instead.
* better still, re-write the entire try block as:
try:
[code goes here]
finally:
connection.close()
and use the Python error-reporting mechanism instead of defeating it.
