I am experimenting with many exception handling and utilizing continue vs pass.
'pass' is a do-nothing place holder. 'continue' and 'break' are jump
statements

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?
Try it for yourself. Copy the following into a python shell or editor
(and run) see what you get.
for i in [-1, 0, 1]:
try:
j = 2//i
except ZeroDivisionError:
print('infinity')
continue
else:
print(j)
Change 'continue' to 'pass' and run again.
