Raise two errors at the same time

Question

Is there any way to raise two errors at the same time by using try and except? For example, ValueError and KeyError.

How do I do that?

Answer 1

Yes, you can handle more than one error, either using

try:
    # your code here
except (ValueError, KeyError) as e:
    # catch it, the exception is accessable via the variable e

Or, directly add two "ways" of handling different errors:

try:
    # your code here
except ValueError as e:
    # catch it, the exception is accessable via the variable e
except KeyError as e:
    # catch it, the exception is accessable via the variable e

You may also leave out the "e" variable.
