Python Playground

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

Output

Click "Run" to execute your code

__debug__ is raised when true under normal execution; false when run with -o flag. Always catch specific exceptions rather than bare except clauses.
