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
