I think I've been misunderstood.  Sorry, I'll try to put this another
way ... the Python exception handling reports the exception to logs,
which is particularly useful for diagnosing a cause ... but if the
exception is handled as Ivan's change does, then the cause is not
logged.

I'm not saying we have no logs, I'm saying we will have no *useful*
logs.
