====== Exceptions ======

**General Information**

Attempting actions and catching exceptions/errors. 

**Checklist**
  * Python 2 or 3

----

====== Usage ======

Using the code snippet.
<code bash>
chmod +x try-except.py
./try-except.py

# Example output

my_number successfully converted to an integer.
my_number2 is NOT an integer!
</code>

----

====== The Code ======

<code python try-except.py>
#!/usr/bin/python

# A number stored as a string
my_number="123"

try:
  # Attempt to convert to an integer
  my_number = int(my_number)
  print("my_number successfully converted to an integer.")
except:
  # If there is an error, display a message and exit
  print("my_number is NOT an integer!")
  exit(1)

# Store a string
my_number2="nope"

try:
  # Attempt to convert to an integer
  my_number2 = int(my_number2)
  print("my_number2 successfully converted to an integer.")
except:
  # If there is an error, display a message and exit
  print("my_number2 is NOT an integer!")
  exit(1)
</code>

\\
Another example is using a try, except when using an API for logins.
<code python>
# Attempt to login and get a session id
try:
  key = server.auth.login(spacewalk_login, spacewalk_password)
except:
  print("->ERROR: Spacewalk Login failed. Exiting...")
  exit(1)
</code>
  * NOTE: The above code will not run by itself, as it is a snippet from using a Spacewalk API.
