If I set the mode to 'json', and python prints something that isn't JSON, then python-shell's use of JSON.parse() causes an error as one would expect. However, I can't seem to catch the error and it's just crashing my program.

I've tried wrapping either a PythonShell() object or a PythonShell.run() function in a try catch, using the function (err) callback, listing to an 'error' emit, but nothing can seem to catch this error.

For now I can set it to text mode and manually call JSON.parse() but this seems an unsatisfying solution.
