Use Except Clause with Multiple Exceptions in Python

Using "except" Clause with Multiple Exceptions 

It is possible to define multiple exceptions with the same except clause. It means that if the Python interpreter finds a matching exception, then it will execute the code written under the except clause.

Syntax 

In general, the syntax for multiple exceptions is as follows -

Except(Exception1, Exception2,?ExceptionN) as e:

When we define the except clause in this way, we expect the same code to throw different exceptions. Also, we want to take action in each case.

Example

In this example, we are trying to add an integer and a string, which is not allowed in Python. This raises a TypeError.

Since the TypeError is one of the exceptions listed in the except clause, the program handles it and prints the exception details using sys.exc_info() -

import sys
try:
   d = 8
   d = d + '5'
except(TypeError, SyntaxError)as e:
   print (sys.exc_info())

We get output as shown below -

(<class 'TypeError'>, TypeError("unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'"), <traceback object at 0x7f5fb8d164c0>)
