[Tutor] try except continue

[Ewald Ertl]

Hi!

I think you just want to execute the rest of the function's in someProcedure().
Perhaps this could be the solution, what you want:


>>> def someProcedure():
...     for func in [ someFunc00, someFunc01, someFunc02, someFunc03 ]:
...             try:
...                     func()
...             except:
...                     print "Error in %s " % ( func.__name__ )
...                     continue
...
>>>
>>> someProcedure()
Error in someFunc00
yeah!
baby let's go
someInt is:  4
