Well.... yes, that's a complete thread hijack. Whatever.

Standard principle when asking for help with a Python program: Quote
the error text! You say you got a response back - quote it!

Standard debugging technique: If you have an idea, try it! Most code
is deterministic enough that you can simply change to the modern
except syntax and try again. Maybe it won't have any effect, but maybe
it'll tell you exactly what the problem is.

Beyond that, I don't think I can much help you.
