Any idea how we can write multiple except on same line as code to be executed for both exceptions is same.

I tried logical OR but it did not work. My code works as expected if I write both exception separately.

    except FileNotFoundError:
        with open("./file.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(new_data, f, indent=4)

    except ValueError:
        with open("./file.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(new_data, f, indent=4)

Put the exception inside brackets (relevant documentation):

try:
    1 / 0
except (RuntimeError, ZeroDivisionError) as err:
    print("Exception!", err)

Prints:

Exception! division by zero

  • It worked. Actually I tried this before posting this question but without () round bracket. Did not knew that except requires tuple for multiple exception in line. – navalega0109 Aug 19 '23 at 05:22

An except clause can take multiple exceptions as a parenthesized tuple, for example

except (FileNotFoundError,ValueError ) as error:
    pass
