Fixes #707

Description

This PR replaces bare except: clauses with except Exception: in image
validation functions, following Python best practices (PEP 8).

Changes

Replaced bare except: with except Exception: in:

  • lessons/4-ComputerVision/07-ConvNets/tfcv.py
  • lessons/4-ComputerVision/07-ConvNets/pytorchcv.py
  • lessons/4-ComputerVision/08-TransferLearning/tfcv.py
  • lessons/4-ComputerVision/08-TransferLearning/pytorchcv.py

Motivation

Bare except: clauses catch all exceptions, including SystemExit and
KeyboardInterrupt, which can mask serious errors and prevent users from
stopping the program (e.g., via Ctrl+C). Using except Exception: follows
PEP 8 guidelines and prevents masking of critical system exceptions, while
still catching all legitimate errors like corrupt or invalid image files.

Testing

  • Verified syntax correctness with python -m py_compile
  • Maintains the same error handling behavior for legitimate exceptions
  • Allows system-level exceptions (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit) to
    propagate properly
