Exception handling

Exception handling#

The basics about exceptions#

Example#
 1#!/usr/bin/env python3
 2
 3def main():
 4    try:
 5        print(x)
 6    except:
 7        print("An exception occurred")
 8
 9
10if __name__ == "__main__":
11    main()
Output#
1An exception occurred
Example#
 1#!/usr/bin/env python3
 2
 3def main():
 4    try:
 5        print(x)
 6    except SystemError:
 7        pass
 8
 9
10if __name__ == "__main__":
11    main()
Output#
1Traceback (most recent call last):
2  File "/workspaces/learning-python/test1.py", line 11, in <module>
3    main()
4  File "/workspaces/learning-python/test1.py", line 5, in main
5    print(x)
6NameError: name 'x' is not defined
Example#
 1#!/usr/bin/env python3
 2
 3def main():
 4    x = 1
 5    try:
 6        print(x)
 7    except:
 8        print("System Error")
 9    else:
10        print("Everything fine")
11
12
13if __name__ == "__main__":
14    main()
Output#
11
2Everything fine
Example#
 1#!/usr/bin/env python3
 2
 3def main():
 4    try:
 5        print(x)
 6    except:
 7        print("System Error")
 8    finally:
 9        print("The try-except works")
10
11
12if __name__ == "__main__":
13    main()
Output#
1System Error
2The try-except works

Raise an exception#

Example#
 1#!/usr/bin/env python3
 2
 3def main():
 4    x = 1
 5    y = 0
 6
 7    if y == 0:
 8        raise Exception("Sorry, can not divide by zero")
 9    else:
10        print(x/y)
11
12if __name__ == "__main__":
13    main()
Output#
1Traceback (most recent call last):
2  File "/workspaces/learning-python/test1.py", line 13, in <module>
3    main()
4  File "/workspaces/learning-python/test1.py", line 8, in main
5    raise Exception("Sorry, can not divide by zero")
6Exception: Sorry, can not divide by zero
Example#
 1#!/usr/bin/env python3
 2
 3def main():
 4    x = 1
 5    y = "zero"
 6
 7    if not type(y) is int:
 8        raise TypeError("Only integers are allowed")
 9    else:
10        if y == 0:
11            raise Exception("Sorry, can not divide by zero")
12        else:
13            print(x/y)
14
15
16if __name__ == "__main__":
17    main()
Output#
1Traceback (most recent call last):
2  File "/workspaces/learning-python/test1.py", line 16, in <module>
3    main()
4  File "/workspaces/learning-python/test1.py", line 8, in main
5    raise TypeError("Only integers are allowed")
6TypeError: Only integers are allowed
