What problem? Your code works for me.

Please describe:

1) what you expect to happen
2) what actually happens
3) if there is a traceback, COPY AND PASTE the ENTIRE traceback, do not 
summarise or abbreviate it.

That's because your attempt to implement try is broken.

But why are you using a try? If your function has a bug, FIX THE BUG, 
don't just cover it up with a try...except.
