Here's the code from an execution module:

    try:
        return client.watch(key, recurse=recurse, wait=True, timeout=timeout, index=index)
    except urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError as e:
        return 'got timeout'
    except Exception as e:
        return str(type(e))

When it runs:

[root@alpha site-packages]# /tmp/watch.py
{'alpha': "<class 'urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError'>"}

Meaning that it fell through to 'Exception', even though the specific Exception type is right above it and should have returned 'got timeout'
