Not in my Python world it isn't. While that is sometimes the right
answer, more often the right answer is to properly scope your try/except
statement in order to avoid catching exceptions from code you aren't
interested in. If you end up stuck with a library call that lacks both
granularity and specificity of exceptions then you live with it (and
maybe file a bug report/feature request with the library author).

Cheers,
Nick.
