How to catch SyntaxError Exception in Python?
A SyntaxError occurs any time the parser finds source code it does not understand. This can be while importing a module, invoking exec, or calling eval(). Attributes of the exception can be used to find exactly what part of the input text caused the exception.
We rewrite the given code to handle the exception and find its type
Example
try: print eval('six times seven') except SyntaxError, err: print 'Syntax error %s (%s-%s): %s' % \ (err.filename, err.lineno, err.offset, err.text) print err
Output
C:/Users/TutorialsPoint1/~.py Syntax error <string> (1-9): six times seven invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)
