[New-bugs-announce] [issue4788] two bare "except" clauses are used in the ssl module

[Giampaolo Rodola']

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <billiejoex at users.sourceforge.net>:

>From PEP-8:

> When catching exceptions, mention specific exceptions
> whenever possible instead of using a bare 'except:' clause.
> [...] 
> A bare 'except:' clause will catch SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt
> exceptions, making it harder to interrupt a program with Control-C,
> and can disguise other problems.
