Triggering ExceptionGroup

How ExceptionGroup is raised and how to catch it.

python
# Triggering and catching ExceptionGroup
try:
    raise ExceptionGroup("example error")
except ExceptionGroup as e:
    print(f"Caught ExceptionGroup: {e}")
    print(f"Type: {type(e).__name__}")

ExceptionGroup is raised when groups multiple exceptions together (3.11+); used with except*. Always catch specific exceptions rather than bare except clauses.

Handling ExceptionGroup

Basic error handling pattern for ExceptionGroup.

python
# Safe handling pattern
def safe_operation():
    try:
        raise ExceptionGroup("example error")
    except ExceptionGroup:
        print("Operation failed gracefully")
        return None

result = safe_operation()
print(f"Result: {result}")

Wrapping risky operations in try/except blocks prevents your program from crashing.
