#948: Do not use bare "except:" ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- A bare "except:" (without listing an exception class) will intercept all exceptions, including the user typing control-C to abort. This should therefore not be used, except if (a) the code will abort anyway with an appropriate user-visible error message, or (b) the code will re-raise the exception via "raise".

In particular, Simfactory catches filesystem errors with bare excepts; this should be cleaned up.
