I think I meant something like this. An exception in a function is caught
by the caller. I imported the program that did this into the test program,
expecting the exception to still be caught when the parse_string was
called, by the try except else block in the mainroutine of the imported
program..

def excepter():
    raise ValueError

try:
    excepter()
except ValueError:
    print("Exception caught after function call")

REPL
>>>
Exception caught after function call
