<span id="bltin-exceptions"></span><h1>Built-in Exceptions<a class="headerlink" href="#built-in-exceptions" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p id="index-0">In Python, all exceptions must be instances of a class that derives from
<a class="reference internal" href="#BaseException" title="BaseException"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseException</span></code></a>. In a <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#try"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">try</span></code></a> statement with an <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#except"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">except</span></code></a>
clause that mentions a particular class, that clause also handles any exception
classes derived from that class (but not exception classes from which <em>it</em> is
derived). Two exception classes that are not related via subclassing are never
equivalent, even if they have the same name.</p>
<p id="index-1">The built-in exceptions listed in this chapter can be generated by the interpreter or
built-in functions. Except where mentioned, they have an “associated value”
indicating the detailed cause of the error. This may be a string or a tuple of
several items of information (e.g., an error code and a string explaining the
code). The associated value is usually passed as arguments to the exception
classs constructor.</p>
<p>User code can raise built-in exceptions. This can be used to test an exception
handler or to report an error condition “just like” the situation in which the
interpreter raises the same exception; but beware that there is nothing to
prevent user code from raising an inappropriate error.</p>
<p>The built-in exception classes can be subclassed to define new exceptions;
programmers are encouraged to derive new exceptions from the <a class="reference internal" href="#Exception" title="Exception"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Exception</span></code></a>
class or one of its subclasses, and not from <a class="reference internal" href="#BaseException" title="BaseException"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseException</span></code></a>. More
information on defining exceptions is available in the Python Tutorial under
<a class="reference internal" href="../tutorial/errors.html#tut-userexceptions"><span class="std std-ref">User-defined Exceptions</span></a>.</p>
<section id="exception-context">
<h2>Exception context<a class="headerlink" href="#exception-context" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p id="index-2">Three attributes on exception objects provide information about the context in
which the exception was raised:</p>
<dl class="py attribute">
<dt class="sig sig-object py" id="BaseException.__context__">
<span class="sig-prename descclassname"><span class="pre">BaseException.</span></span><span class="sig-name descname"><span class="pre">__context__</span></span><a class="headerlink" href="#BaseException.__context__" title="Link to this definition"></a></dt>
<dt class="sig sig-object py" id="BaseException.__cause__">
<span class="sig-prename descclassname"><span class="pre">BaseException.</span></span><span class="sig-name descname"><span class="pre">__cause__</span></span><a class="headerlink" href="#BaseException.__cause__" title="Link to this definition"></a></dt>
<dt class="sig sig-object py" id="BaseException.__suppress_context__">
<span class="sig-prename descclassname"><span class="pre">BaseException.</span></span><span class="sig-name descname"><span class="pre">__suppress_context__</span></span><a class="headerlink" href="#BaseException.__suppress_context__" title="Link to this definition"></a></dt>
<dd><p>When raising a new exception while another exception
is already being handled, the new exceptions
<code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__context__</span></code> attribute is automatically set to the handled
exception. An exception may be handled when an <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#except"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">except</span></code></a> or
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#finally"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">finally</span></code></a> clause, or a <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/compound_stmts.html#with"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">with</span></code></a> statement, is used.</p>
<p>This implicit exception context can be
supplemented with an explicit cause by using <code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">from</span></code> with
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/simple_stmts.html#raise"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">raise</span></code></a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">raise</span> <span class="n">new_exc</span> <span class="kn">from</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nn">original_exc</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The expression following <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/simple_stmts.html#raise"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">from</span></code></a> must be an exception or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>. It
will be set as <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__cause__</span></code> on the raised exception. Setting
<code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__cause__</span></code> also implicitly sets the <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__suppress_context__</span></code>
attribute to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>, so that using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">raise</span> <span class="pre">new_exc</span> <span class="pre">from</span> <span class="pre">None</span></code>
effectively replaces the old exception with the new one for display
purposes (e.g. converting <a class="reference internal" href="#KeyError" title="KeyError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KeyError</span></code></a> to <a class="reference internal" href="#AttributeError" title="AttributeError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">AttributeError</span></code></a>), while
leaving the old exception available in <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__context__</span></code> for introspection
when debugging.</p>
<p>The default traceback display code shows these chained exceptions in
addition to the traceback for the exception itself. An explicitly chained
exception in <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__cause__</span></code> is always shown when present. An implicitly
chained exception in <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__context__</span></code> is shown only if <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__cause__</span></code>
is <a class="reference internal" href="constants.html#None" title="None"><code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code></a> and <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__suppress_context__</span></code> is false.</p>
<p>In either case, the exception itself is always shown after any chained
exceptions so that the final line of the traceback always shows the last
exception that was raised.</p>

<section id="inheriting-from-built-in-exceptions">
<h2>Inheriting from built-in exceptions<a class="headerlink" href="#inheriting-from-built-in-exceptions" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>User code can create subclasses that inherit from an exception type.
Its recommended to only subclass one exception type at a time to avoid
any possible conflicts between how the bases handle the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">args</span></code>
attribute, as well as due to possible memory layout incompatibilities.</p>
<div class="impl-detail compound">
<p><strong>CPython implementation detail:</strong> Most built-in exceptions are implemented in C for efficiency, see:
<a class="extlink-source reference external" href="https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.13/Objects/exceptions.c">Objects/exceptions.c</a>. Some have custom memory layouts
which makes it impossible to create a subclass that inherits from
multiple exception types. The memory layout of a type is an implementation
detail and might change between Python versions, leading to new
conflicts in the future. Therefore, its recommended to avoid
subclassing multiple exception types altogether.</p>

<dd><p>Both of these exception types wrap the exceptions in the sequence <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">excs</span></code>.
The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">msg</span></code> parameter must be a string. The difference between the two
classes is that <a class="reference internal" href="#BaseExceptionGroup" title="BaseExceptionGroup"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseExceptionGroup</span></code></a> extends <a class="reference internal" href="#BaseException" title="BaseException"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseException</span></code></a> and
it can wrap any exception, while <a class="reference internal" href="#ExceptionGroup" title="ExceptionGroup"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ExceptionGroup</span></code></a> extends <a class="reference internal" href="#Exception" title="Exception"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Exception</span></code></a>
and it can only wrap subclasses of <a class="reference internal" href="#Exception" title="Exception"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Exception</span></code></a>. This design is so that
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">except</span> <span class="pre">Exception</span></code> catches an <a class="reference internal" href="#ExceptionGroup" title="ExceptionGroup"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ExceptionGroup</span></code></a> but not
<a class="reference internal" href="#BaseExceptionGroup" title="BaseExceptionGroup"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseExceptionGroup</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#BaseExceptionGroup" title="BaseExceptionGroup"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseExceptionGroup</span></code></a> constructor returns an <a class="reference internal" href="#ExceptionGroup" title="ExceptionGroup"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ExceptionGroup</span></code></a>
rather than a <a class="reference internal" href="#BaseExceptionGroup" title="BaseExceptionGroup"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseExceptionGroup</span></code></a> if all contained exceptions are
<a class="reference internal" href="#Exception" title="Exception"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Exception</span></code></a> instances, so it can be used to make the selection
automatic. The <a class="reference internal" href="#ExceptionGroup" title="ExceptionGroup"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ExceptionGroup</span></code></a> constructor, on the other hand,
raises a <a class="reference internal" href="#TypeError" title="TypeError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TypeError</span></code></a> if any contained exception is not an
<a class="reference internal" href="#Exception" title="Exception"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Exception</span></code></a> subclass.</p>
