Well, for varying definitions of "that function", you can do

>>> def unerr(fn):
...     def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
...             try:
...                     fn(*args, **kwargs)
...             except:
...                     return None
...     return wrapper
... 
>>> @unerr
... def foo():
...     raise Exception
... 
>>> print foo()
None

;-)

Beyond that, I'm sure one could resort to bytecode hacking to have
"that function" skip the raise...
