try catch any exception python 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 except pass

try:
   # Code to test / execute
   print('Test')
except (SyntaxError, IndexError) as E:  # specific exceptions
   # Code in case of SyntaxError for example
   print('Synthax or index error !')
except :
   # Code for any other exception
   print('Other error !')
else:
   # Code if no exception caught
   print('No error')
finally:
   # Code executed after try block (success) or any exception (ie everytime)
   print('Done')

# This code is out of try / catch bloc
print('Anything else')

Example 3: catch error python

import traceback

dict = {'a':3,'b':5,'c':8}
try:
  print(dict[q])
 
except:
  traceback.print_exc()
  
# This will trace you back to the line where everything went wrong. 
# So in this case you will get back line 5
