Hi, I have seen code using try_except with no exceptions, from dateutil import parser
try: from_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(parameters['from_date'], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f') to_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(parameters['to_date'], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f') except: from_date = parser.parse(parameters['from_date']) to_date = parser.parse(parameters['to_date']) I know that such try-catch usage is generally a bad practice, since it can't locate the root of the exceptions. I am wondering how to correct the code above (what it tries to do is basically trying one processing block, if not working, running another block of code in except). Also a warning 'Too broad exception clause' will be generated. cheers -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
