When I used to write Java and switched to Python, this was one of the things I missed. It was always quite clear which exceptions I had to catch (or not). Just today, I ran into the issue of trying to cover the exceptions a library could throw without using except: or except Exception as e, but finally gave up and gave in to it. The linter wasn't happy, but fuck it.
