Python Ignore Exception and Go Back to Where I Was

Question

I know using below code to ignore a certain exception, but how to let the code go back to where it got exception and keep executing? Say if the exception \'Exception\' raises in

I posted this recently as an answer to another question. Here you have a function that returns a function that ignores ("traps") specified exceptions when calling any function. Then you invoke the desired function indirectly through the "trap."

def maketrap(*exceptions):
    def trap(func, *args, **kwargs):
        try:
            return func(*args, **kwargs)
        except exceptions:
            return None
    return trap

# create a trap that ignores all exceptions
trapall = maketrap(Exception) 

# create a trap that ignores two exceptions
trapkeyattrerr = maketrap(KeyError, AttributeError)

# Now call some functions, ignoring specific exceptions
trapall(dosomething1, arg1, arg2)
trapkeyattrerr(dosomething2, arg1, arg2, arg3)

In general I'm with those who say that ignoring exceptions is a bad idea, but if you do it, you should be as specific as possible as to which exceptions you think your code can tolerate.
