▪ For example, you may try to
▪ Convert a string with non-digit characters to an integer
▪ Call a non-existent function of a class These are examples
▪ Import a non-existent module of exceptions
▪ Open a non-existent file
▪ Modify an immutable object

Should our programs


stop or handle these
exceptions?

Exception handling

▪ We must first “anticipate” an exception (including its type), then write code
to “catch” it, and handle it

▪ The try-except statement


try:
statements_that_may_cause_an_exception
except ExceptionType:
statements_to_handle_the_exception

▪ The code in the except part is called the exception handler
