Add a section on Errors and Exceptions

Open feluxe opened this issue 8 years ago • 7 comments

Is there really no section on 'Errors and Exceptions' or did I just not find it?

What were you expecting to see there?

  • Some explained examples on how to handle errors properly via exceptions in Python.
  • A link to this list.
  • etc..

Just a basic overview on how to do it.

This would be great!

@feluxe that list is fantastic — I'm not sure that I've ever seen it before. Agreed 1000% that should be linked to.

Jumping in a little bit late but has the section in question been added or is it yet to be done? If not, I would love to help!

@ketakee It has not!

@kennethreitz I am going to do this now.

Looking at putting this link with some explainer context on the Structure page, after Mutable and Immutable Types.

Secondly, adding this from Python for Beginners on Errors and Exceptions in the Learning Python Beginners section, as a reference.

Does this sound like an actionable solution?
