Python: try statement in a single line

Question

Is there a way in python to turn a try/except into a single line?

something like...

b = \'some variable\'
a = c | b #try statement goes here
<         


        

Answer 1

Works on Python3, inspired by Walter Mundt

exec("try:some_problematic_thing()\nexcept:pass")

For mulitiples lines into one line

exec("try:\n\tprint('FirstLineOk')\n\tsome_problematic_thing()\n\tprint('ThirdLineNotTriggerd')\nexcept:pass")

Ps: Exec is unsafe to use on data you don't have control over.
