It might help if you explain what sort of actual things that the user does wrong that you are talking about.

Usually it's some kind of parsing error. Or it might be a network connection getting closed unexpectedly.

Essentially it's anything due to factors outside the program's control, but which aren't detected and reported by any of the built-in IOError or OSError exceptions.
