Question

Say I have the following code:

try:
    print 'foo'
    # A lot more code...
    print 'bar'
except:
    pass

How would I for testing purposes disable the try-statement temporary?

You can’t just comment the try and except lines out as the indention will still be off.

Isn’t there any easier way than this?

#try:
print 'foo'
# A lot more code...
print 'bar'
#except:
#    pass

Answer 1

You could reraise the exception as the first line of your except block, which would behave just as it would without the try/except.

try:
    print 'foo'
    # A lot more code...
    print 'bar'
except:
    raise # was: pass
