Good Morning: I am experimenting with many exception handling and utilizing continue vs pass. After pouring over a lot of material on SO and other forums I am still unclear as to the difference when setting variables and applying functions within multiple "for" loops.
Specifically, I understand that the general format in the case of pass and using else is the following: try: doSomething() except Exception: pass else: stuffDoneIf() TryClauseSucceeds() However, I am uncertain as to how this executes in a context like this: import glob import csv from collections import OrderedDict interesting_files = glob.glob("*.csv") header_saved = False with open('merged_output_mod.csv','w') as fout: for filename in interesting_files: print("execution here again") with open(filename) as fin: try: header = next(fin) print("Entering Try and Except") except: StopIteration continue else: if not header_saved: fout.write(header) header_saved = True print("We got here") for line in fin: fout.write(line) My questions are (for some reason my interpreter does not print out any readout): 1. after the exception is raised does the continue return back up to the beginning of the for loop (and the "else" conditional is not even encountered)? 2. How would a pass behave in this situation? Thanks for your feedback. Sincerely, Saran -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
