What do you put in exception blocks?!

IMHO, the exception block in Python is used a lot in places where you
could use an if-then-else, like your example that could be written as

    if internet_available():
        [...] #doing some internet stuff
    else:
        alternate_method_that_doesnt_need_internet()

So yes, I think there's no problem there.
