- Exception
Catch all the exceptions and show their type
We can also use the "except Exception" to catch all exceptions. In this case we might want to also print out the text and the type of the exception by ourselves.

import sys import module files = sys.argv[1:] for filename in files: try: module.read_and_divide(filename) except Exception as err: print(f" There was a problem in '{filename}'", file=sys.stderr) print(f" Text: {err}", file=sys.stderr) print(f" Name: {type(err).__name__}", file=sys.stderr) print('') # before one.txt # 100.0 # after one.txt # before zero.txt # There was a problem in 'zero.txt' # Text: division by zero # Name: ZeroDivisionError # before two.txt # There was a problem in 'two.txt' # Text: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'two.txt' # Name: FileNotFoundError # before three.txt # 33.333333333333336 # after three.txt
