: Pythonic code often follows "Easier to Ask Forgiveness than Permission" (EAFP)—trying an operation and handling the failure rather than checking if it's possible beforehand. Common Built-in Exceptions
: Always runs regardless of whether an error occurred. This is essential for resource cleanup , such as closing files or database connections. Strategic Techniques
: For domain-specific logic, you can define your own error classes by inheriting from the built-in Exception class.
: Avoid using a bare except: or except Exception: . Catching specific errors (e.g., FileNotFoundError ) prevents you from accidentally silencing unexpected bugs you didn't intend to handle.
