Unfortunately that proves nothing. My boss used to have another
employee besides me - he lasted for several years before he finally
quit (wasn't fired). In retrospect, my boss wishes he'd fired him a
lot sooner, but hindsight is 20/20, they say. We've since ripped out
every line of code this guy wrote and rewritten from scratch. No,
merely holding down a job doesn't prove anything more than that your
boss hasn't gone through and evaluated your code. In my example, it
was because the boss was too busy (he knew stuff was taking a long
time to get written and debugged, he didn't know it was because the
code was trash); in other cases, I have no doubt, it's because the
boss has no clue what makes good code. That's why he hired a
programmer, after all - to do what he can't do himself. It's
unfortunately not difficult for someone to be employed to do something
he's utterly incompetent to do.

First concept:  A try/except should wrap one conceptual calculation.  In
this case, you have three.  So if the host lookup fails, you'll
overwrite the city you already presumably figured out.

You also don't do anything about an exception that might occur
calculating gi.  If one isn't possible, or if it's unrelated to the
other two, then that line should come OUT of the try-block.

What is city?  The function name implies it's a time zone, which is
presumably a float, -12 < x < +12.  If this is the case, then a string
is a lousy default value.

Nothing limits the except clause to a single line.

Perhaps you need something that looks more like:

some_value = some_function_of( some_value ) or some_function_of
( some_value )
if some_value:
    host = some_function_of( some_value )
else:
    host = some_value

or even:

try:
    host = some_function_of( some_function_of( some_value ) or 
some_function_of( some_value ) )
except some_error_type [ or some_error_type .... ]:
    host = some_value

+1000 or more Chris.  That should be printed, and dye transfered to the 
paint on every coders cubicle wall, with a wall sconce above it for 
illumination.

I have a similar story but it occurred in the broadcast engineering arena, 
back in the middle of the last decade.  I had been to this facility with 
orders to see if I could clean up the technical mess once before.  A year 
later I was back out there, and found one of my fixes undone, with 
disastrous results on the video quality.  So I fixed it again, then, when 
the person nominally in charge of those things wandered in a couple of 
hours later I took him to an out of the traffic and tried to educate him.  
Mind you, he's the one with the degree.  The more I talked the more upset I 
got and I even questioned his family tree.  I figured I was in for a good 
scrap the way I laid into him, but when I finally ran down, he floored me 
by saying that "no one had ever explained cause and effect to him that 
clearly, and why the hell wasn't I teaching someplace?, as I was better by 
far than any prof he ever had in school."

He did I think, finally understand that he was in over his head a wee bit 
trying to keep 4 television stations and a cable channel on the air.  So he 
left for a radio station in NC I was told, because I got sent back a third 
time to keep it running while the commission was cogitating on the license 
transfers to another media group.

Now of course I'm retired, we've since converted to digital broadcasting, 
and much of my knowledge in analog studio stuff is largely moot.  Time 
marches on.  And it gives me time to lurk here, hoping I'll learn a bit of 
python by osmosis.  Please, do carry on.  The comments, often pithy but 
just as often over my now ancient head, are certainly worth the admission.

Cheers, Gene
