Hi Dale, Usually the docs for a method will list the likely exceptions, but there's no way to know the full list of possible exceptions except by testing, testing, testing. Obviously, there's always a chance that there's a test you didn't think of and therefore an exception unaccounted for. I think this is a less-than-ideal aspect of Python but I don't have a suggestion on how to improve it.
