Assert statements are a convenient way to insert debugging  assertions into a program.

The assert statement

Michigan State University

In Python, all built-in exceptions are instances of a class derived from `BaseException`. They are generated by the interpreter or built-in functions to report error conditions and typically include an associated value (e.g., a string or tuple) indicating the exact cause of the error. These built-in classes can be subclassed to define custom exceptions, which should derive from `Exception` rather than `BaseException`.

Python Built-In Exceptions

Assertion Error

Raised when an attribute reference or assignment fails. When an object does not support attribute references or attribute assignments at all, TypeError is raised.

AttributeError

Raised when the `input()` function hits an end-of-file condition (EOF) without reading any data. N.B.: the `io.IOBase.read()` and `io.IOBase.readline()` methods return an empty string when they hit EOF.

EOFError

Raised when the input() function hits an end-of-file condition (EOF) without reading any data. (N.B.: the io.IOBase.read() and io.IOBase.readline() methods return an empty string when they hit EOF.)

FloatingPointError

Raised when the import statement has troubles trying to load a module. Also raised when the “from list” in from ... import has a name that cannot be found.

The name and path attributes can be set using keyword-only arguments to the constructor. When set they represent the name of the module that was attempted to be imported and the path to any file which triggered the exception, respectively.

ImportError

Raised when a sequence subscript is out of range. (Slice indices are silently truncated to fall in the allowed range; if an index is not an integer, TypeError is raised.)

IndexError

This exception is derived from RuntimeError. It is raised when the interpreter detects that the maximum recursion depth (see sys.getrecursionlimit()) is exceeded.

RecursionError

Raised when the parser encounters a syntax error. This may occur in an import statement, in a call to the built-in functions exec() or eval(), or when reading the initial script or standard input (also interactively).

The str() of the exception instance returns only the error message.

filename
The name of the file the syntax error occurred in.

lineno
Which line number in the file the error occurred in. This is 1-indexed: the first line in the file has a lineno of 1.

offset
The column in the line where the error occurred. This is 1-indexed: the first character in the line has an offset of 1.

text
The source code text involved in the error.
