how to do error trapping on a html exist python code example

Example 1: python raise error exit

# There are 3 approaches, the first as lvc mentioned is using sys.exit
sys.exit('My error message')

# The second way is using print, print can write almost anything including an error message
print >>sys.stderr, "fatal error"     # Python 2.x
print("fatal error", file=sys.stderr) # Python 3.x

# The third way is to rise an exception which I don't like because it can be try-catch
raise SystemExit('error in code want to exit')

# it can be ignored like this
try:
  raise SystemExit('error in code want to exit')
except:
  print("program is still open")

Example 2: exception variable properties python

>>> 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
