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

Either use the standard method mentioned in the other answers, or if you really want to test within the except block then you can use isinstance().

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