Is something missing here? The comment text seems cut off.
There should be a ; at the end of the first line, but I think I will rewrite the comment instead.
+ except: return None
"except Exception" may be better here.
Idle's Shell catches all exceptions. I think the attempt to provide an optional help (a function signature) should too. -- Terry Jan Reedy
