How can I catch multiple exceptions in one line? (in the "except"...

plumb_pete

I know that I can do: try: # do something that may fail except: # do this if ANYTHING goes wrong I can also do this: try: # do something that may fail except IDontLikeYouException: # say please except YouAreTooShortException: # stand on a ladder But if I want to do the same thing inside two different exceptions, the best I can think of right now is to do this: try: # do something that may fail except IDontLikeYouException: # say please except...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

From Python Documentation : An except clause may name multiple exceptions as a parenthesized tuple, for example except (IDontLikeYouException, YouAreBeingMeanException) as e: pass Or, for Python 2 only: except (IDontLikeYouException, YouAreBeingMeanException), e: pass Separating the exception from the variable with a comma will still work in Python 2.6 and 2.7, but is now deprecated and does not work in Python 3; now you should be using as , as defined in [PEP-3110]( https://peps.python.org/pep-3110/ )
