That advice would make more sense if it was possible to know which exceptions could be raised. In practice, that isn't possible, as the documentation seldom provides this information. Even for the built-in classes, the documentation is weak in this regard; for less important modules and third-party libraries, it's entirely absent. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
