Python on Symbian

[dipo7]

I am reading Python on Symbian on the wiki page of this site:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph..._and_Messaging

while reading, I came across this code within the body of a long code and I don't seem to understand what it does. I know what a try and except does but what the try line is set to fetch is completely unknown to me.

try:
noteString = '\n'.join(note.value for note in contactList[0].find(type='note'))
except:
noteString = u"No notes available"
else:
noteString = u"The phone number was not found"

Could anyone please help me with the explanations please.
thank you.

(1) contactList is a list of contacts returned as a result of the search.
(2) contactList[0].find(type='note') returns a list of the fields of type note from the first contact in (1).
'\n'.join(note.value for note in contactList[0].find(type='note')) means this: concatenate the values of the elements in (2) but put the '\n' character between them.
