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

The following only worked for me (both in PY2 and PY3):

try:
  # (Anything that produces any kind of error)
except:
  ertype = sys.exc_info()[0]  # E.g. 
  description = sys.exc_info()[1]   # E.g. [Errno 13] Permission denied: ...
  # (Handle as needed )
