For example, convert the string 'ZeroDivisionError' to the Python class ZeroDivisionError.

One obvious way of doing it is by using an if-else structure, but it is not feasible to do it for all the exceptions present in Python 3.

How do I do this?

Why would you need to do that? If you need the exception object, do not catch it, or rethrow it after cathing. – Patrick Artner Mar 26 '20 at 06:50
I need to extract the underlying Python exception thrown by a wrapped Exception class. – Rohit Sanjay Mar 26 '20 at 07:31
