How to properly ignore Exceptions

0 votes

When you just want to do a try-except without handling the exception, how do you do it in Python?

Is the following the right way to do it?

try:

 dosomthing()

except:

 pass

try:

 doSomething()

except:

 pass

or

try:

 doSomething()

except Exception:

 pass

The difference is, that the first one will also catch KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit and stuff like that, which are derived directly from exceptions.BaseException, not exceptions.Exception.

See documentation for details:

exceptions — http://docs.python.org/library/exceptions
