[PATCH 1/2] python/chcat: improve the code readability

[Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss@xxxxxxx>]

flake8 reports many warnings for chcat:

    chcat:7:1: E265 block comment should start with '# '
    chcat:29:1: F401 'string' imported but unused
    chcat:44:1: E722 do not use bare 'except'
    chcat:104:9: F841 local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used
    chcat:144:9: F841 local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used
    chcat:186:9: F841 local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used
    chcat:234:9: F841 local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used
    chcat:262:9: F841 local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used
    chcat:281:5: F841 local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used
    chcat:385:9: E722 do not use bare 'except'
    chcat:402:1: E305 expected 2 blank lines after class or function definition, found 1
    chcat:436:5: F841 local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used

Fix all of them.
