2.4 Built-in Exceptions
</A>
<A NAME=
"module-exceptions"></A>
Exceptions should be class objects.
The exceptions are defined in the module
<tt class=
"module">exceptions
</tt>. This
module never needs to be imported explicitly: the exceptions are
provided in the built-in namespace as well as the
<tt class=
"module">exceptions
</tt><div class=
"note"><b class=
"label">Note:
</b>
In past versions of Python string exceptions were supported. In
Python
1.5 and newer versions, all standard exceptions have been
converted to class objects and users are encouraged to do the same.
String exceptions will raise a
<code>PendingDeprecationWarning
</code>.
In future versions, support for string exceptions will be removed.
Two distinct string objects with the same value are considered different
exceptions. This is done to force programmers to use exception names
rather than their string value when specifying exception handlers.
The string value of all built-in exceptions is their name, but this is
not a requirement for user-defined exceptions or exceptions defined by
For class exceptions, in a
<tt class=
"keyword">try
</tt><a id='l2h-
278' xml:id='l2h-
278'
></a> statement with
an
<tt class=
"keyword">except
</tt><a id='l2h-
279' xml:id='l2h-
279'
></a> clause that mentions a particular
class, that clause also handles any exception classes derived from
that class (but not exception classes from which
<em>it
</em> is
derived). Two exception classes that are not related via subclassing
are never equivalent, even if they have the same name.
The built-in exceptions listed below can be generated by the
interpreter or built-in functions. Except where mentioned, they have
an ``associated value'' indicating the detailed cause of the error.
This may be a string or a tuple containing several items of
information (e.g., an error code and a string explaining the code).
The associated value is the second argument to the
<tt class=
"keyword">raise
</tt><a id='l2h-
280' xml:id='l2h-
280'
></a> statement. For string exceptions, the
associated value itself will be stored in the variable named as the
second argument of the
<tt class=
"keyword">except
</tt> clause (if any). For class
exceptions, that variable receives the exception instance. If the
exception class is derived from the standard root class
<tt class=
"exception">Exception
</tt>, the associated value is present as the
exception instance's
<tt class=
"member">args
</tt> attribute, and possibly on other
User code can raise built-in exceptions. This can be used to test an
exception handler or to report an error condition ``just like'' the
situation in which the interpreter raises the same exception; but
beware that there is nothing to prevent user code from raising an
The built-in exception classes can be sub-classed to define new
exceptions; programmers are encouraged to at least derive new
exceptions from the
<tt class=
"exception">Exception
</tt> base class. More
information on defining exceptions is available in the
>Python Tutorial
</a></em> under the heading
``User-defined Exceptions.''
The following exceptions are only used as base classes for other

The root class for exceptions. All built-in exceptions are derived
from this class. All user-defined exceptions should also be derived
from this class, but this is not (yet) enforced. The
<tt class=
"function">str()
</tt>function, when applied to an instance of this class (or most derived
classes) returns the string value of the argument or arguments, or an
empty string if no arguments were given to the constructor. When used
as a sequence, this accesses the arguments given to the constructor
(handy for backward compatibility with old code). The arguments are
also available on the instance's
<tt class=
"member">args
</tt> attribute, as a tuple.

The base class for all built-in exceptions except
<tt class=
"exception">StopIteration
</tt> and
<tt class=

<tt class=

"typelabel">exception
</span> <tt id='l2h-
283' xml:id='l2h-

"exception">ArithmeticError
</tt></b></dt>
The base class for those built-in exceptions that are raised for
various arithmetic errors:
<tt class=
"exception">OverflowError
</tt>,
<tt class=
"exception">ZeroDivisionError
</tt>,
<tt class=
"exception">FloatingPointError

"typelabel">exception
</span> <tt id='l2h-

The base class for the exceptions that are raised when a key or
index used on a mapping or sequence is invalid:
<tt class=
"exception">IndexError
</tt>,
<tt class=
"exception">KeyError
</tt>. This can be raised directly by

"typelabel">exception
</span> <tt id='l2h-
285' xml:id='l2h-

</tt></b></dt>
The base class for exceptions that
can occur outside the Python system:
<tt class=
"exception">IOError
</tt>,
<tt class=
"exception">OSError
</tt>. When exceptions of this type are created with a
2-tuple, the first item is available on the instance's
<tt class=
"member">errno
</tt>
attribute (it is assumed to be an error number), and the second item
is available on the
<tt class=
"member">strerror
</tt> attribute (it is usually the
associated error message). The tuple itself is also available on the
<tt class=
"member">args
</tt> attribute.
<span class=
"versionnote">New in version
1.5.2.
</span>
When an
<tt class=
"exception">EnvironmentError
</tt> exception is instantiated with a
3-tuple, the first two items are available as above, while the third
item is available on the
<tt class=
"member">filename
</tt> attribute. However, for
backwards compatibility, the
<tt class=
"member">args
</tt> attribute contains only a
2-tuple of the first two constructor arguments.
The
<tt class=
"member">filename
</tt> attribute is
<code>None
</code> when this exception is
created with other than
3 arguments. The
<tt class=
"member">errno
</tt> and
<tt class=
"member">strerror
</tt> attributes are also
<code>None
</code> when the instance was
created with other than
2 or
3 arguments. In this last case,
<tt class=
"member">args
</tt> contains the verbatim constructor arguments as a tuple.
The following exceptions are the exceptions that are actually raised.

</tt></b></dt>
Raised when an operation runs out of memory but the situation may
still be rescued (by deleting some objects). The associated value is
a string indicating what kind of (internal) operation ran out of memory.
Note that because of the underlying memory management architecture
(C's
<tt class=
"cfunction">malloc()
</tt> function), the interpreter may not
always be able to completely recover from this situation; it
nevertheless raises an exception so that a stack traceback can be
printed, in case a run-away program was the cause.

includes the name that could not be found.

</tt></b></dt>
Raised when the result of an arithmetic operation is too large to be
represented. This cannot occur for long integers (which would rather
raise
<tt class=
"exception">MemoryError
</tt> than give up). Because of the lack of
standardization of floating point exception handling in C, most
floating point operations also aren't checked. For plain integers,
all operations that can overflow are checked except left shift, where
typical applications prefer to drop bits than raise an exception.

class=
"exception">SystemExit
</tt></b></dt>
This exception is raised by the
<tt class=
"function">sys.exit()
</tt> function. When it
is not handled, the Python interpreter exits; no stack traceback is
printed. If the associated value is a plain integer, it specifies the
system exit status (passed to C's
<tt class=
"cfunction">exit()
</tt> function); if it is
<code>None
</code>, the exit status is zero; if it has another type (such as
a string), the object's value is printed and the exit status is one.
Instances have an attribute
<tt class=
"member">code
</tt> which is set to the
proposed exit status or error message (defaulting to
<code>None
</code>).
Also, this exception derives directly from
<tt class=
"exception">Exception
</tt> and
not
<tt class=
"exception">StandardError
</tt>, since it is not technically an error.
A call to
<tt class=

</tt> is translated into an exception so that
clean-up handlers (
<tt class=
"keyword">finally
</tt> clauses of
<tt class=
"keyword">try
</tt> statements)
can be executed, and so that a debugger can execute a script without
running the risk of losing control. The
<tt class=

can be used if it is absolutely positively necessary to exit
immediately (for example, in the child process after a call to
