Sage / SageMath Wrapper: Graphing with x-y values in a table

Below is some, as yet unrefactored, wrapper code that I wrote to generate plots, that are aware of asymptotes, using Sage that include corresponding x and y values in the form a table. Below is an image (here a polynomial function) and then the code.

def catch(func, handle=lambda e : e, *args, **kwargs):
    try:
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    except Exception as e:
        #return handle(e)
        return NaN

# graphic, table, labeled points, point of interest

    return

Example of how to use it

NOTE: The 4 comma-separated numbers following f(x), g(x) are the minimum x and y values.

f(x)=3*x^2/(x^2+2)
g(x)=f(x)+1
go(f(x),g(x),-5,5,0,6,x1=.5)
