I'm surprised nobody has yet pointed out that you can catch multiple
specific exception types in the except clause rather than needing to
organize them under a catch-all base class. These two code blocks are
basically equivalent:
try:
do_stuff()
except BaseException as ue:
if isinstance(ue, (socket.timeout, ConnectionResetError)):
handle_it()
else:
raise
try:
do_stuff()
except (socket.timeout, ConnectionResetError) as ue:
handle_it()
