Does eval has the same features as Perl's?

Hello members, I want to know does the "eval" in python have the same features as in Perl (capture errors)? For example,in perl I can wrote: $re = eval { 1 / 0 }; Though 1/0 is a fatal error but since it's in "eval" block so the perl interpreter doesn't get exit. Thanks again. -- http://mail.
