I'm reading up on exception handling, and am a little confused. If you have an exception that just has 'pass' in it, for example in a 'for line in file:' iteration, what happens? Does the program just go to the next line?EX: for line in file: try: do something except: pass I know (so many of you have told me :-) that using pass is a bad idea, but how else do you skip the current line if the 'try' can't be done, and go on to the next line exiting the program with a trace error? regards, Richard
Don't put the `try: except:` there in the first place. This is the best way to approach development. Let Python throw all your programming errors at you, then refine your code to catch the ones you need to. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#exception-hierarchy for the ones you would potentially need to catch for file handling under OSError.
One must also add the obligatory never use a bare `except:` -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
