My point of contention isn't so much about what specific syntax I should be using as much as it is about being allowed to use a syntax that gives erroneous results without triggering a syntax violation. If the bare except: clause is syntactically legal then it should yield deterministic results based on a well defined language specification, right? It's looking very much like "except:" is undefined behaviour.
There is nothing undefined about it. `except:` catches everything. Occasionally there is a good reason to do it that way, but under typical circumstances you tell 'except' which exceptions you are prepared to deal with.
