How to determine if an exception was raised once you're in the finally block?

Question

Is it possible to tell if there was an exception once you\'re in the finally clause? Something like:

try:
    funky code
finally:
    if ???:
          


        

Answer 1

You can easily assign your caught exception to a variable and use it in the finally block, eg:

>>> x = 1
>>> error = None
>>> try:
...     x.foo()
... except Exception as e:
...     error = e
... finally:
...     if error is not None:
...             print(error)
...
'int' object has no attribute 'foo'
