The general response to "except: pass" from the Old Ones on the
python list (and those younger ones who tend to prescribe good
style) is a fairly immediate "don't use bare excepts". So
endorsing this "silence" syntax would be tantamount to condoning
bare excepts. I'm not sure you'll find much support.

m.p.o recently, so this may only be a recent representative sample)
