an ORM is even better
for example, django's:
Blog.objects.filter(pub_date__range=('2015-06-01', '2015-06-30')
gets every Blog in june (assuming that a Blog model exists and has been imported)
plus it works with datetime objects
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from .models import Blog
Blog.objects.filter(pub_date__range=(datetime.now() - timedelta(days=5), datetime.now())
gets every Blog in the last five days

So if supporting old legacy stuff sounds better to you than making new stuff with modern tech, then sure, go for it. But that sounds dull to me

in python that's the preferred way to do it
there's LBYL and EAFP
respectively:
x = '123'
if x.isdigit():
x = int(x)
else:
print('nevermind')
vs
x = '123'
try:
x = int(x)
except ValueError:
print('nevermind')

Python also isn't known for it's runtime performance either though so that's a tradeoff.

well, it has nothing to do with the exceptions
and you can always use pypy if you wanna be obsessive about speed
