No I start with writing the above code and the debugging code uncommented.

You still don't seem to understand. This code doesn't fail. SomeException
can normally safely be ignored. However some of the called functions might
throw it wrongly.

That depends what you mean with *frequently*. It depends on the nastyness
of the bug I am chasing.

You are not taking my word for it, you are jumping to conclusions. The
fact that I do this at some point, doesn't mean I leave it in indefenatly.

But it isn't an unneeded try ... except block. I need the try ... except
block to ignore an exception that should be harmless at that point.

Yes that makes sense. However if I think that is worth the while I usally
just start using the logging module.
