python catch exception with error code example

Example 1: python try catch

try:
  # Dangerous stuff
except ValueError:
  # If you use try, at least 1 except block is mandatory!
  # Handle it somehow / ignore
except (BadThingError, HorrbileThingError) as e:
  # Hande it differently
except:
  # This will catch every exception.
else:
  # Else block is not mandatory.
  # Dangerous stuff ended with no exception
finally:
  # Finally block is not mandatory.
  # This will ALWAYS happen after the above blocks.

Example 2: python catch all exceptions

try:
    raise Exception("Oh no! An error happened!")
except Exception as err:
    print("An error was handled")
finally:
  	print("This runs either way.")
