python exception handling catch all code example

Example 1: 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.")

Example 2: python check for exception

try: # put here the code that you expect to error 
  # code
except ValueError: # if you want to catch a ValueError
  # NOTE: you CANNOT catch a syntax error 
  # (UNLESS you are trying to execute code from a string with eval())
  
  # code if python caught the exception
except NameError: # you can catch multiple types of errors!
  # TIP: you can leave the error type blank to make python catch all types of errors!
  
  # code if another exception is caught (this is pretty much a modified if statement)
else: # if no error has been caught do the following:
  
  # code if no exception has been caught
