As Dennis Kaarsemaker already pointed out in his response to the OP, the 
'else:' is not needed and this is the same (unless we are missing 
something) as

try:
   ...
   ...

In other words, *every* statement in a try block after the first is 
preceded by an implicit 'run this unless we already exited with an 
exception'.
