What is an Exception?
 An exception is an error that happens
during execution of a program
 If an exception is not caught the program
is terminated
 In Python, exceptions are triggered
automatically on errors, and they can be
triggered and intercepted by your code
3

Exceptions
 Exception handling has two steps:
• Raising or Throwing
• Catching
 Python provides 3 keywords to deal with
exceptions :
• raise
• try
• except
4

Exceptions (2)
Program to divide a constant by a number
def divide(num):
print 100/num
if __name__ == '__main__':
divide(0)
OUPUT:
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

Exception propagation
6
>>> f1(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#10>", line 1, in
<module>
f1(0)
File "<pyshell#8>", line 2, in f1
return f2(num)
return f3(num)
return constant/num
ZeroDivisionError: integer division
or modulo by zero
>>> def f3(num):
constant = 100
return constant/num
>>> def f2(num):
return f3(num)
>>> def f1(num):
return f2(num)
>>> f1(10)
10
>>> f1(0)

Why use exceptions
 Error handling: Python raises an exception whenever
it detects errors in program at runtime. You can catch
and respond to errors in the code or Python’s default
behavior kicks in, stops the program and prints the
error message.
 Event notification: exceptions can also be used to
signal valid conditions without you having to pass
result flags around a program

Throwing and Catching Exceptions
8

Throwing an exception
9
def avg(seq):
result = 0
for val in seq:
result += convert(val)
return result/len(seq)
def convert(val):
try:
val = int(val)
except ValueError:
raise ValueError('val type is not int')
return val
print avg([1, 2, 4, 5])
Output:
3

Throwing an exception
10
print avg([1, 'two', 4, 5])
Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "exceptions1.py", line 15, in <module>
print avg([1, 'two', 4, 5])
File "exceptions1.py", line 4, in avg
result += convert(val)
File "exceptions1.py", line 11, in convert
raise ValueError('val type is not int')
ValueError: val type is not int

Handling Exceptions (try except block)
 In order to handle exceptions wrap the code in try
except
def divide(num):
try:
print 100/num
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("division by Zero not allowed")
if __name__=='__main__':
divide(0)
Output:
division by Zero not allowed
11

try except else
12
try:
# do something
except:
# handle exception
else:
# executed only when there is no exception
The code in else block is only executed if there is no
exception

try except else (2)
def divide(num):
try:
result = 100/num
print('division by Zero not allowed')
else:
print “Result is %d" % (result)
if __name__ == '__main__':
divide(10)
Output:
Result is 10
13

try except finally
14
try:
# do something
except:
# handle exception
finally:
# always executed
The code in finally block is always executed, no
matter what

try except finally (2)
15
def divide(num):
try:
result = 100/num
print('division by Zero not allowed')
finally:
print “Input was %d" % (num)
if __name__ == '__main__':
divide(0)
Output:
Division by Zero not allowed
Your input was 0

Common Python Exceptions
Exception Description
IOError If the file cannot be opened
ImportError If python cannot find the module
ValueError Raised when a built-in operation or
function receives an argument that has
the right type but an inappropriate value
KeyError Raised when a mapping (dictionary) key is
not found in the set of existing keys
IndentationError raised due to incorrect indentation
SyntaxError Raised when the parser encounters a
syntax error
16

Custom exceptions
class MyException(Exception):
pass
def divide(num):
try:
return 100/num
raise MyException('Cannot divide
by 0')
