Python provides two very important features to handle the exceptions and errors that Python programs run in. You can use this feature to debug a python program.
We can open idle-->f1 to view the document, there are many exception types,
What is an exception?
An exception is an event that occurs during program execution and affects the normal execution of the program.
In general, an exception occurs when Python does not handle the program properly.
The exception is a Python object that represents an error.
When a Python script exception occurs, we need to capture and process it, or the program terminates execution.
Exception handling
You can use the Try/except statement to catch an exception.
The try/except statement is used to detect errors in a try statement block, allowing the except statement to catch exception information and handle it.
If you do not want to end your program when an exception occurs, simply capture it in a try.
Grammar:
The following is a simple syntax for try....except...else :
try
:
<语句>
#运行别的代码
except
<名字>:
<语句>
#如果在try部份引发了'name'异常
except
<名字>,<数据>:
<语句>
#如果引发了'name'异常,获得附加的数据
else
:
<语句>
#如果没有异常发生
Try works by starting a try statement, and Python is tagged in the context of the current program so that when an exception occurs, it can go back here, the TRY clause executes first, and what happens next depends on whether an exception occurs at execution time.
If an exception occurs when the statement after the try is executed, Python jumps back to the try and executes the first except clause that matches the exception, and the control flow passes through the entire try statement (unless a new exception is thrown when the exception is handled).
#如果在try后的语句里发生了异常, but there is no matching except clause, the exception will be submitted to the upper try, or to the top of the program (This will end the program and print the default error message).
#如果在try子句执行时没有发生异常, Python executes the statement after the Else statement (if there is else), and then the control flow passes through the entire try statement.
Instance
Here is a simple example that opens a file where the contents of the file are written and the exception does not occur:
#!/usr/bin/python
try
:
fh
=
open
(
"testfile"
,
"w"
)
fh.write(
"This is my test file for exception handling!!"
)
except
IOError:
print
"Error: can\'t find file or read data"
else
:
print
"Written content in the file successfully"
fh.close()
The above program output results:
Written content
in
the
file
successfully
Instance
Here is a simple example that opens a file where the contents of the file are written, but the file does not have write permission, and an exception occurs:
#!/usr/bin/python
try
:
fh
=
open
(
"testfile"
,
"r"
)
fh.write(
"This is my test file for exception handling!!"
)
except
IOError:
print
"Error: can\'t find file or read data"
else
:
print
"Written content in the file successfully"
The above program output results:
Error: can't find
file
or
read data
Use except without any exception type
You can use except without any exception type, as in the following example:
try
:
You do your operations here;
......................
except
:
If there
is
any
exception, then execute this block.
......................
else
:
If there
is
no exception then execute this block.
The try-except statement above captures all occurrences of the exception. But this is not a good way to identify specific exception information through the program. Because it catches all the exceptions.
Using except with multiple exception types
You can also use the same except statement to handle multiple exception information, as follows:
try
:
You do your operations here;
......................
except
(Exception1[, Exception2[,...ExceptionN]]]):
If there
is
any
exception
from
the given exception
list
,
then execute this block.
......................
else
:
If there
is
no exception then execute this block.
try-finally statements
The try-finally statement executes the final code regardless of whether an exception occurs.
try
:
<语句>
finally
:
<语句>
#退出try时总会执行
raise
Note: You can use the except statement or the finally statement, but both cannot be used at the same time. Else statement cannot be used in conjunction with the finally statement
#!/usr/bin/python
try
:
fh
=
open
(
"testfile"
,
"w"
)
fh.write(
"This is my test file for exception handling!!"
)
finally
:
print
"Error: can\'t find file or read data"
If the open file does not have writable permissions, the output is as follows:
Error: can't find
file
or
read data
The same example can be written in the following way:
#!/usr/bin/python
try
:
fh
=
open
(
"testfile"
,
"w"
)
try
:
fh.write(
"This is my test file for exception handling!!"
)
finally
:
print
"Going to close the file"
fh.close()
except
IOError:
print
"Error: can\'t find file or read data"
Executes the finally block code immediately when an exception is thrown in the try block.
After all the statements in the finally block are executed, the exception is raised again, and the except block code is executed.
The contents of the parameter differ from the exception.
parameter of the exception
An exception can take a parameter that can be used as the output exception information parameter.
You can use the except statement to catch the parameters of the exception, as follows:
try
:
You do your operations here;
......................
except
ExceptionType, Argument:
You can
print
value of Argument here...
The exception value that the variable receives is usually contained in the exception's statement. In a tuple's form, a variable can receive one or more values.
Tuples typically contain error strings, error numbers, and error locations.
Instance
The following is an instance of a single exception:
#!/usr/bin/python
# Define a function here.
def
temp_convert(var):
try
:
return
int
(var)
except
ValueError, Argument:
print
"The argument does not contain numbers\n"
, Argument
# Call above function here.
temp_convert(
"xyz"
);
The results of the above program execution are as follows:
The argument does
not
contain numbers
invalid literal
for
int
() with base
10
:
'xyz'
Triggering an exception
We can use the raise statement to trigger the exception ourselves
The raise syntax format is as follows:
raise
[Exception [, args [, traceback]]]
The type of exception in the statement is an exception (for example, the Nameerror) parameter is an exception parameter value. This parameter is optional and if not provided, the exception parameter is "None".
The last parameter is optional (rarely used in practice) and, if present, is the tracking exception object.
Instance
An exception can be a string, a class, or an object. The Python kernel provides exceptions, most of which are instantiated classes, which are parameters of an instance of a class.
It is very simple to define an exception as follows:
def
functionName( level ):
if
level <
1
:
raise
"Invalid level!"
, level
# The code below to this would not be executed
# if we raise the exception
Note: to be able to catch exceptions, the "except" statement must have the same exception to throw the class object or string.
For example, we capture the above exception, and the "except" statement looks like this:
try
:
Business Logic here...
except
"Invalid level!"
:
Exception handling here...
else
:
Rest of the code here...
User-defined exceptions
By creating a new Exception class, programs can name their own exceptions. Exceptions should be typical of inheriting from the exception class, either directly or indirectly.
The following is an example of a runtimeerror-related instance in which a class is created and the base class is RuntimeError, which is used to output more information when the exception is triggered.
In the TRY statement block, after the user-defined exception executes the EXCEPT block statement, the variable e is used to create an instance of the Networkerror class.
class
Networkerror(RuntimeError):
def
__init__(
self
, arg):
self
.args
=
arg
After you define the above class, you can trigger the exception as follows:
try
:
raise
Networkerror(
"Bad hostname"
)
except
Networkerror,e:
print
e.args
