exceptions

[Jeff Epler]

Use "pass" as the body of the "except:" block.  For example:

    def put(s, i, j):
        """Store j at s[i], or do nothing if s is not that long"""
        try:
            s[i] = j
        except IndexError:
            pass

>>> l = [1, 2, 3]
>>> put(l, 1, "hi")
>>> put(l, 4, "bye")
>>> l
[1, 'hi', 3]
