That seems rather extreme in the first instance.

>From a quick google It seems that python 2.4 did not properly support
the "try: ... except: ... finally: ... " syntax. It appears that as a
workaround one can do
        try:
                try:
                        ...
                except:
                        ...
        finally:
                ...

But I didn't try this myself.
