Bah.  It was a bad hair day yesterday.  I see what you're saying now and 
that makes sense.  The actual try/except block is pretty efficient and 
isn't that big a deal.  Turns out it even says that in the Python FAQ.  I 
was confusing that with exactly what you thought I was confusing it with: 
try/except block with exceptions being thrown as opposed to doing things 
in a way where exceptions weren't being thrown.

Thanks for hitting me over the head a few times.  ;)
