Python Exceptions #

Look Before You Leap (LBYL) and Easier to Ask Forgiveness than Permission (EAFP)

Try Except Else #

the code in the else block is executed only if the code in the try block didn’t throw an exception.

Another use of else is when code in the try block requires some cleanup (and doesn’t have a usable context manager)
