Question

I have a program, a part of which executes a loop. During the execution of this loop, there are exceptions. Obviously, I would like my program to run without errors, but for the sake of progress, I would like the program to execute over the entire input and not stop when an exception is thrown. The easiest way to do this would be by implementing an except block.

However, when I do this, it excepts all exceptions and continues with the program and I never get to see the exception message, which I need in order to debug.

Is there a way to except any arbitrary exception and be able to print out the exception message in the except block?

Answer 1

try:
    #stuff
except Exception as e:
    print e

The traceback module provides various functions for extracting more information from the exception object (e, above).
