How can I catch all exception in python?

[yinglcs@gmail.com]

I read the document here about exception handling in python:

http://www.diveintopython.org/file_handling/index.html

Can you please tell me how can I catch all exception in python?
like this in Java:
try {
....
} catch (Throwable t) {
...
}

Technically speaking, you can catch all errors as follows:

try:
# do something
except Exception, e:
print e


However, this is NOT the recommended way of handling errors. Typically
you catch only expected errors, such as when you open a file, you
check for an IOError. By catching all errors, you will learn less and
likely have hard-to-understand bugs in your program.

See the Further Reading section on that same page.
Exceptions are covered in the Python Tutorial here:

That won't catch exceptions/errors that don't derive from
Exception class. For example a string won't be caught:

try:
raise "foo"
except Exception, e:
print e

But this will catch all exceptions:

try:
raise "foo"
except:
print sys.exc_info()

(there may be other ways I don't know of)
