Summary: except too broad

Initial Comment:
IOBinding.open looks for an self.editwin.interp (after 
having already verified that self.editwin exists), but 
catches exceptions with a bare except.  This narrows 
it to an AttributeError.

(Note that the save method already assumes that 
missing attributes on an editwin will be represented 
as AtributeError rather than TypeError.)
