I want to exception handle 'list index out of range.'

Question

I am using BeautifulSoup and parsing some HTMLs.

I\'m getting a certain data from each HTML (using for loop) and adding that data to a cert

Answer 1

You have two options; either handle the exception or test the length:

if len(dlist) > 1:
    newlist.append(dlist[1])
    continue

or

try:
    newlist.append(dlist[1])
except IndexError:
    pass
continue

Use the first if there often is no second item, the second if there sometimes is no second item.
