I'm constantly finding myself writing itty-bitty try blocks like such:

process stuff
try : someSubProcess.kill()
except : pass
process stuff

I realize this isn't a rigorous use of except, but it's good enough for a vast majority of what I need it for.  Still, it adds excess verbiage and makes code slightly harder to read.

All I need except to do most of the time is suppress exceptions.  I think the language could be enhanced by making the except clause implicit.

the above would become:

process stuff
try : someSubProcess.kill()
process stuff

The intent remains clear.  The code is cleaner and easier to read.

This does not happen often in rigorous code, but grep does find 3 counts in standard modules and 9 counts in numpy.  I'm certain most prototype code (like mine) would greatly benefit.  (My current 300 line project uses 4 so far.)
