Try..Except

We will try to read input from the user. Press Ctrl-d and see what happens.

 

>>> s = raw_input('Enter something --> ')
Enter something --> Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
EOFError

 

Python raises an error calledEOFError which basically means it found an end of file when it did not expect to (which is represented by Ctrl-d)

 

Next, we will see how to handle such errors.
