Equivalent perror function in python

Question

I use try other than a block in python, while a try block does not work, how to print a meaningful error message. I am looking for something like perror () in C

Answer 1

>>> try:
...     0/0
... except Exception,e:
...     print e.message
...
integer division or modulo by zero

or in Python 2.6 and higher e.args, due toBaseException.message has been deprecated

>>> try:
...     0/0
... except Exception,e:
...     print e.args
...
('integer division or modulo by zero',)

Answer 2

try:
   pass
except Exception, err:
   print err
