Fix bare except blocks #299
Description
There are a lot of bare except: statements throughout the code that catch everything including KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit. Makes debugging painful, if something hangs you can't even Ctrl+C out of it, and actual errors get silently swallowed
Worst is cwrap.py which has 15+ bare excepts like
try:
apikey=open(concore.inpath+'1/concore.apikey',newline=None).readline().rstrip()
except:
apikey = ''
These should at minimum be except Exception: to avoid catching system-level stuff, or better yet catch specific exceptions like FileNotFoundError or IOError depending on what could actually fail. Not critical but would make debugging way easier
