If you just want to ignore the exceptions while saving space/typing,
you could equivalently do::

    try:
        something(1)
        something(2)
        # ...
    except:
        pass

or::

    try:
        something(1); something(2); # ...
    except:
        pass

or::

    try:
        for i in range(yourlimit):
            something(i)
    except:
        pass
