python catch exception and continue try block

Question

Can I return to executing try-block after exception occurs? (The goal is to write less) For Example:

try:
    do_smth1()
except:
    pass

try:
    do_smth2(         


        

Answer 1

Depending on where and how often you need to do this, you could also write a function that does it for you:

def live_dangerously(fn, *args, **kw):
    try:
        return fn(*args, **kw)
    except Exception:
        pass

live_dangerously(do_smth1)
live_dangerously(do_smth2)

But as other answers have noted, having a null except is generally a sign something else is wrong with your code.
