The right thing to do when you catch an exception is never to throw an exception

[jaypoulz]

There are a few places in @jdaigneau's API wrapper where a catch block throws the exception it catches. The technical term for this is wack.

You should either:

1. not catch the exception (and allow the calling functions to catch them)
2. handle the exception gracefully (this could mean notifying the user about what went wrong, logging events, restarting a service, etc.)
