Question

I am new to python and is wondering if I can make a try-catch-else statement without handling the exception?

Like:

try:
    do_something()
except Exception:
else:
    print("Message: ", line) // complains about that else is not intended

Answer 1

The following sample code shows you how to catch and ignore an exception, using pass.

try:
    do_something()
except RuntimeError:
    pass # does nothing
else:
    print("Message: ", line)
