In Python, why raise/except instead of throw/catch ? Any other language using this naming convention?
Question:
In Python, we use try/except to handle exceptions.
However, I have no knowledge of any other language using such naming convention.
On the other hand, I know that the following languages use try/catch and throw:
- C#
- Java
- Javascript
A search of try except on Google gives, on first page, only Python and a Microsoft C/C++ extension.
Why have Python developers chosen raise/try-except instead of throw/try-catch like many other languages do?
In addition, does any other language use raise/try-except?
Answers:
All pascal language are also using try / except naming convention like Delphi & lazarus
In python, we can make use of this statement by using multiple except statements under a try condition, hence this can become a good programming practice.
Python was developed for an easy understand-ability of the code even by a person with no programming knowledge, this is to avoid unclear or confusing codes to understand for future review.
