from my_paths import *def get_selected_paths(): return [home, desktop, project1, project2] ------- So I have a function like this which returns a list containing a bunch of variables. The real list has around 50 entries. Occasionally I'll remove a variable from my_paths and cause get_selected_paths to throw a NameError. For example, say I delete the "project1" variable from my_paths; now I'll get a NameError when I call get_selected_paths. So everything that depends on the get_selected_paths function is crashing. I am wondering if there is an easy way to just ignore the variable if it's not found. So, in the example case I would want to somehow handle the exception in a way that I end up returning just [home, desktop, project2]. Yes, I realize there are a number of ways to reimplement this, but I'm wanting to get it working with minimal changes to the code. Any suggestions?
I would consider giving my_paths a 'selected_paths' attribute that you update by hand or automatically within my_paths.
