Python MySQLdb exceptions

Just starting to get to grips with python and MySQLdb and was wondering

Where is the best play to put a try/catch block for the connection to MySQL. At the MySQLdb.connect point? Also should there be one when ever i query?
What exceptions should i be catching on any of these blocks?

thanks for any help

Cheers Mark
