If I don't know in advance which error to expect, but on the contrary
want to find out which error occurred, I can catch any error by omitting

But now I don't have access to the error message 'e'. I'm sure there's a
way and it's probably ridiculously simple.
Bare except is a holdover from when exceptions could be strings rather
than an instance of a subclass of BaseException. A Python 3 interpreter
in effect runs code within a try-except block something like this:
try:
<your code>
except BaseException as __exception__:
<print traceback and exit>
However, use Exception instead of BaseException in your code unless you
REALLY know what you are doing and why.
