Handle specific exception type in python

Question

I have some code that handles an exception, and I want to do something specific only if it\'s a specific exception, and only in debug mode. So for example:

try:
         


        

Answer 1

This is pretty much the way it's done.

try:
    stuff()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    if _debug:
        sys.exit()
    logging.exception("Normal handling")
except Exception as e:
    logging.exception("Normal handling")

There's minimal repetition. Not zero, however, but minimal.

If the "normal handling" is more than one line of code, you can define a function to avoid repetition of the two lines of code.
