Catching NameError here seems like it couldn't possibly be what we want to be doing here since NameError is an error when Python can't find a name of a variable in the current scope and this particular code doesn't deal with any dynamic variable names. If there somehow was a name error in the first try bloc we will run into it again in the exception handling clause because the code looks identical,

This is my attempt at getting python to try multiple ports (i.e., '/devttylUSB0') without throwing an error after the first one. I tried using mutilple bare exceptions but python didn't let me so I through in arbitrary exception "NameError".

It did the job! Lol. Not the right way.
