The \keyword{try} \ldots\ \keyword{except} statement has an optional
|

\emph{else clause}, which must follow all except clauses. It is
|
||||
useful to place code that must be executed if the try clause does not

raise an exception. For example:
|
||||
\emph{else clause}, which, when present, must follow all except
|

clauses. It is useful for code that must be executed if the try
|
||||
clause does not raise an exception. For example:

The use of the \keyword{else} clause is better than adding additional
|
||||
code to the \keyword{try} clause because it avoids accidentally
|
||||
catching an exception that wasn't raised by the code being protected
|
||||
by the \keyword{try} \ldots\ \keyword{except} statement.

|

|

When an exception occurs, it may have an associated value, also known as
|
||||
the exceptions's \emph{argument}.
