Heh, I'm afraid that's not quite what Steven meant; what you're doing there is literally skipping _any other error_. A bare except is usually not a good thing. Catch the specific exception you want to catch - that way, if you typo a name or something, you don't get an obscure message about the host address when it's really a coding bug.
