The runtime keeps telling me:
expected an indented block
But I don't want write nothing inside my except block, I just want it to catch and swallow the exception.

To indicate a block of code in Python, you must indent each line of the block by the same amount. The two blocks of code in our example if-statement are both indented four spaces, which is a typical amount of indentation for Python.
Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line. Where in other programming languages the indentation in code is for readability only, the indentation in Python is very important. Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.
Python uses the colon symbol (:) and indentation for showing where blocks of code begin and end. Indentation makes the code more readable and in python, indentation is very important.
Just write
pass as in
try: # Do something illegal. ... except: # Pretend nothing happened. pass EDIT: @swillden brings up a good point, viz., this is a terrible idea in general. You should, at the least, say
except TypeError, DivideByZeroError: or whatever kinds of errors you want to handle. Otherwise you can mask bigger problems.
