Subject: Catch Exception when necessary
X-Git-Tag: 0.0.1~126
X-Git-Url: https://mudpy.org/gitweb?p=mudpy.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=22a72bec37c3a569f319dbd3bd72676f380d480b

Catch Exception when necessary

In situations where any exception needs to be matched in an except
clause, specify the Exception base class so as to be explicit that
it's an intentional choice and not an accidental omission.
