06-Errors and Exception Handling

The document discusses error handling and unit testing in Python. It explains that error handling allows code to continue running even if errors occur using try, except, and finally blocks. It also discusses using the pylint and unittest libraries for unit testing code as projects grow, with pylint checking for issues and unittest allowing testing of outputs. The focus will be on using these tools to check code quality and test programs.

Errors and

Exception Handling
Complete Python Bootcamp

● Errors are bound to happen in your code!


● Especially when someone else ends up
using it in an unexpected way.
● We can use error handling to attempt to
plan for possible errors.
Complete Python Bootcamp

● For example, a user may try to write to a


file that was only opened in mode=’r’
● Currently if there is any type of error in
your code, the entire script will stop.
● We can use Error Handling to let the
script continue with other code, even if
there is an error.
Complete Python Bootcamp

● We use three keywords for this:


○ try: This is the block of code to be
attempted (may lead to an error)
○ except: Block of code will execute in
case there is an error in try block
○ finally: A final block of code to be
executed, regardless of an error.
Unit Testing
Complete Python Bootcamp

● As you begin to expand to larger multi-file


projects it becomes important to have
tests in place.
● This way as you make changes or update
your code, you can run your test files to
make sure previous code still runs as
expected.
Complete Python Bootcamp

● There are several testing tools, we will


focus on two:
○ pylint: This is a library that looks at your
code and reports back possible issues.
○ unittest: This built-in library will allow
to test your own programs and check
you are getting desired outputs.
Complete Python Bootcamp

● We’ll begin by showing you how to use


pylint to check your code for possible
errors and styling.
● Python as a set of style convention rules
known as “PEP 8”.
Complete Python Bootcamp

● Afterwards we will explore how to test


our code with the built-in unittest library.
Complete Python Bootcamp

● For this lecture we will be creating .py


scripts in sublime.
● You can still use the associated notebook
for code using the %%writefile magic
jupyter command.
● Let’s get started!
