NameError				#Raised when a variable is not found in local or global scope.
NotImplementedError		#Raised by abstract methods.
OSError					#Raised when system operation causes system related error.
OverflowError			#Raised when result of an arithmetic operation is too large to be represented.
ReferenceError			#Raised when a weak reference proxy is used to access a garbage collected referent.
RuntimeError			#Raised when an error does not fall under any other category.
StopIteration			#Raised by next() function to indicate that there is no further item to be returned by iterator.
SyntaxError				#Raised by parser when syntax error is encountered.
IndentationError		#Raised when there is incorrect indentation.
TabError				#Raised when indentation consists of inconsistent tabs and spaces.
SystemError				#Raised when interpreter detects internal error.
SystemExit				#Raised by sys.exit() function.
TypeError				#Raised when a function or operation is applied to an object of incorrect type.

Example 2: python exception

try:
  # code block
except ValueError as ve:
  print(ve)

Example 3: python file open try except error

def FileCheck(fn):
    try:
      open(fn, "r")
      return 1
    except IOError:
      print "Error: File does not appear to exist."
      return 0

result = FileCheck("testfile")
print result

Example 4: python error handling

try:
	#insert code here
except:
	#insert code that will run if the above code runs into an error.
except ValueError:
	#insert code that will run if the above code runs into a specific error.
	#(For example, a ValueError)
