Catch exception and continue try block in Python

by

No, you cannot do that. That’s just the way Python has its syntax. Once you exit a try-block because of an exception, there is no way back in.

What about a for-loop though?

funcs = do_smth1, do_smth2

for func in funcs:
    try:
        func()
    except Exception:
        pass  # or you could use 'continue'

Note however that it is considered a bad practice to have a bare except. You should catch for a specific exception instead. I captured for Exception because that’s as good as I can do without knowing what exceptions the methods might throw.
