IMO this is the wrong way to use end.
end should be used to mark the end of a compound statement,
not the end of a suite. If a suite ending is already clear
because the next clause of the compound statement is beginning,
we don't need an extra marker to make that clear.
So the above should be:
try:
...
except blah:
...
end
