May I suggest yet one more alteration:

try: ...code... except (KeyboardInterrupt,SystemExit): raise except: ...handler... Not unless you want to run around editing hundreds of modules.

Why can't we simply change the default for bare except clauses? I.e.

try: ... except: ...

gets equivalent to

try: ... except StandardError: ...

To catch everything, write:

try: ... except Exception: ...

What about string exceptions?
