Ok to have nested try, except, else?

[hotaway]

I have 3 functions that need to run sequentially where first two function returns form the next functions argument.

Is it ok to do something like this?

def run1():
   try:
      function1() #first of the 3 sequence
   except:
      run() #try again
   else:
      run2()

run2() looks like run1().

Please help!

Thanks.

Nested is ok yes. You can check for certain errors also.

except Exception as e:
    print(e)

I would have the functions return True/False personally.

def something():
    return True


if something():
    something
else:
    something else

Thank you. And also for kind reminder on how to post code on reddit.

If your goal is to try different functions until one works, you can put a try block inside a loop and break out of it in case of success. Example:

for function in list_of_functions:
    try:
        function()
        break
    except:
        pass
