How to Ignore an Exception and Proceed in Python
Published on Aug. 22, 2023, 12:15 p.m.
To ignore an exception and continue the execution in Python, you can use a try
and except
block and use the pass
keyword in the except
block. Here’s an example:
try:
# Your code that may raise an exception
except:
pass
When an exception is raised in the try
block, the program will jump to the except
block. Using pass
in the except
block will tell Python to do nothing and continue with the rest of the code. However, please note that ignoring exceptions could lead to unexpected behavior or problems in the code. It is generally better to handle exceptions in a meaningful way.
