Python's exception system has to handle two different situations: buggy
code, and bad data. It's not even clear whether there is a general
distinction to be made between the two, but even if there's not a general
distinction, there's certainly a distinction which we can *sometimes*
make.
The two are intertwined. Production code that passes bad data to a
function without catching the exception is buggy.
def func(x):
if !(x<= 10):
if x%2 != 0:
pass
else:
raise ValueError('bad value for x')
return
I would have got the same traceback,
A traceback is printed only if the code passes bad data and does not
catch the exception. Tracebacks are for developers, not for users.
