Try 

	except Exception, e:

since Exception should be the base class of all exceptions.

For those that aren't, you can do

	except:

and then tricks with the exception functions/objects in the sys module.
(I have to do this in EmPy to catch strings, for instance, which are
deprecated anyway but more common in versions of Python I have to
support.)
