So I want to know which is the right way to write try except statements. I\'m new to error handling in Python.

Option 1

try:
    itemCode = items[\"i

    Instead of catching KeyError, I prefer using get method of dicts with validation.

    itemCode = items.get("itemCode") # itemCode will be None, if no such key
    if itemCode is not None:
        print "code missing"
    

    This is not "general" solution (see comments to my answer), but in this case it'll help.

    And in first case I don't understand, why you trying to delete two times.

    try:
        itemCode = items.get("itemCode") # itemCode will be None, if no such key
        if itemCode is not None:
            print "code missing"
        dbObject=db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM %s WHERE code=:1" % dbName,itemCode).get()
        dbObject.delete() 
    except AttributeError:
        print "There's no item with that code"
    except StandardError as ex:    # good idea to be prepared to handle various fails
        print "Unexpected error deleting item {}".format(ex)
    

    And also, don't forget that python have finally section. It's oftem comes in handy sometimes.

    Simple - it depends. If you are certain about what exceptions you're going to get, you can stick with 1) and frankly, it is the case 90% of the time. The second way is useful if you know that many code routines can raise the same exception type.

    From the zen of python, "flat is better than nested." I'd go with Option #1 style in general, though I'm a bit confused as to whether dbObject=db.GqlQuery("SELECT.... or dbObject.delete() raises an AttributeError. In any case though, you shouldn't have to call the dbObject.delete() more than once.
