@Sanduuz instead of removing the OSException, could you log it as well? it may give more details about the failure.

Definitely could and there's A LOT of other improvements as well to be done to actually make the codebase maintainable for future :D

But I'm pretty sure that @aapooksman won't merge this either (because "it works, so why break it" ;D) so it would be probably easier to just update my own fork.

ah, this must be fixing that invalid escape sequence warning seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qSxxNvuEtg&t=13m

@Sanduuz I'm happy to merge improvements, but I've not had the time to go through this pull request as it introduces a lot of changes in one commit.

I'll take these into account next time when I'm revamping the code more.
