The exact same thought occurred to me recently while I was lying in bed (and
resolutely trying to go to sleep and not get up and send/read more email ;).  My
only reservation is that some people might not be familiar with the
try/except/else construct, but I suppose an appropriate link to the Python
docs (probably a section of the Python tutorial?) can solve that.
