an except clause without a named exception can be used to catch any type of exception code example

Example 1: python except print error type

>>> try:
...     raise Exception('spam', 'eggs')
... except Exception as inst:
...     print(type(inst))    # the exception instance
...     print(inst.args)     # arguments stored in .args
...     print(inst)          # __str__ allows args to be printed directly,
...                          # but may be overridden in exception subclasses
...     x, y = inst.args     # unpack args
...     print('x =', x)
...     print('y =', y)
...
<class 'Exception'>
('spam', 'eggs')
('spam', 'eggs')
x = spam
y = eggs

Example 2: catch error data with except python

import sys
try:
	S = 1/0 #Create Error
except: # catch *all* exceptions
    e = sys.exc_info()
    print(e) # (Exception Type, Exception Value, TraceBack)

############
#    OR    #
############
try:
	S = 1/0
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
    print(e) # ZeroDivisionError('division by zero')
