How to properly ignore exceptions

try:
    doSomething()
except: 
    pass

or

try:
    doSomething()
except Exception: 
    pass

The difference is that the first one will also catch KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit and stuff like that, which are derived directly from exceptions.BaseException, not exceptions.Exception.

See documentation for details:
