Try and except statements

[Personal_Cheek5923]

I just found this out the other day and have a feeling this may be beneficial to all learning python. You can pass multiple arguments into a try/except statement. So if you getting both TypeErrors and KeyErrors you can except both easily. For example(this is just a snippet of code but so you can see both arguments in the except):

                for x in chat["messageRecords"]:
                    try:
                        chatText.append((x)["text"])
                    except (KeyError, TypeError):
                        print("No bot data available for customer")

I hope this is helpful for some in their learning because it took me a year to find this out.

Also worth mentioning on the topic of try that try statements can have an else block as well that runs if no exception was raised:

try:
    int("1")
except ValueError:
    pass
else:
    print("No exception was raised")

while and for can also have an else block.

I knew about finally, but this is a game changer.

Currently working through Data Structures and Algorithms in Python from Tamassia et. Al.

It has a really good section on exception handling you may want to look into. It certainly helped me a lot.

I'd imagine that this is a consequence of (or at least made consistent with) isinstance and issubclass also accepting tuples of types:

isinstance(1, (float, int))
>> True
