Catch any error in Python

Question

Is it possible to catch any error in Python? I don\'t care what the specific exceptions will be, because all of them will have the same fallback.

Answer 1

Quoting the bounty text:

I want to be able to capture ANY exception even weird ones like keyboard interrupt or even system exit (e.g. if my HPC manger throws an error) and get a handle to the exception object e, whatever it might be. I want to process e and custom print it or even send it by email

Look at the exception hierarchy, you need to catch BaseException:

BaseException
 +-- SystemExit
 +-- KeyboardInterrupt
 +-- GeneratorExit
 +-- Exception

This will capture KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit, and GeneratorExit, which all inherit from BaseException but not from Exception, e.g.

try:
    raise SystemExit
except BaseException as e:
    print(e.with_traceback)
