throwing an exception python

raise Exception("message")

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.

try except python

try:
  print("I will try to print this line of code")
except ERROR_NAME:
  print("I will print this line of code if error ERROR_NAME is encountered")

python exception

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')

how to use except statement in python

>>> def divide(x, y):
...     try:
...         result = x / y
...     except ZeroDivisionError:
...         print("division by zero!")
...     else:
...         print("result is", result)
...     finally:
...         print("executing finally clause")
...
>>> divide(2, 1)
result is 2.0
executing finally clause
>>> divide(2, 0)
division by zero!
executing finally clause
>>> divide("2", "1")
executing finally clause
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in divide
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'str'
