The presence of an if statement cannot affect whether or not a continue 
can work.  If you give a concrete code example, somebody will be able to 
identify the confusion.

And while you're at it, instead of saying "this failed" why not actually 
show us the traceback?  Big difference between a name error and a type 
problem.

except clauses do not work on "error names" they work on exception 
types.  I don't use Windows, but I doubt if there's a separate exception 
type for 10057.

Incidentally, if you ever do get one of those except clauses to fire, 
you're going to want an exception object. Something like:

    except OSError as theError:

Then you can check the error code for anything you like.
