Handling both specific and general Python exceptions? -

i catch specific exception , handle accordingly - continue , perform generic handling other exceptions have to.

coming c background, have utilised gotos achieve desired effect.

this i'm doing , works fine:

try:     output_var = some_magical_function() except integrityerror zde:     integrity_error_handling()     shared_exception_handling_function(zde) # error reporting except someotherexception soe:     shared_exception_handling_function(soe) # same function above 

tldr:

ie - there "pythonic" way of doing following:

try:     output_var = some_magical_function() except integrityerror zde:     integrity_error_handling() except allexceptions ae: # exceptions including intregityerror     shared_exception_handling_function(ae) # error reporting 

nb: aware of clause - isn't intended tidy-up (ie- closing files)·

you reraise exception, , handle generic case in outer handler of nested setup:

try:     try:         output_var = some_magical_function()     except integrityerror zde:         integrity_error_handling()         raise except allexceptions ae: # exceptions including intregityerror     shared_exception_handling_function(ae) # error reporting 

the unqualified raise statement re-raises current exception, integrityerror exception thrown again handled allexceptions handler.

the other path take test exception type:

try:     output_var = some_magical_function() except allexceptions ae: # exceptions including intregityerror     if isinstance(ae, integrityerror):         integrity_error_handling()     shared_exception_handling_function(ae) # error reporting
