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.
