Writing Python Properly


What are people’s approaches to writing Python correctly? The library documentation basically doesn’t document the set of exceptions the routines can throw, which makes it very difficult to catch the right things, and do the right thing[1] (for example). What do people do to deal with this problem?

[1] on that note, if you’re writing a command line tool in Python, please catch KeyboardInterrupt and exit quietly. Drives me crazy!
