Re: Too Broad of an exception

Trying to read the python Exception docs is mind bending.  Any help
would be appreciated.

  After "import builtins", "_ =[ print( x )for x in dir( builtins )
  if 'rror' in x or 'xception' in x ]" (one long line without the
  outer quotation marks) prints some prominent exception types. After
  manually removing those that do not seem to apply, I am left with:

"AssertionError",
"ChildProcessError",
"EnvironmentError",
"IOError",
"LookupError",
"OSError",
"OverflowError",
"RuntimeError",
"SyntaxError",
"SystemError",
"ValueError", and
"WindowsError".
