Python How To Exclude Exceptions From "catch All"

Lets say I have this: try: result = call_external_service() if not result == expected: raise MyException() except MyException as ex: # bubble up raise ex ex

Solution 1:

Your problem seems to be that you are wrapping too much code in your try block. What about this?:

try:
    result = call_external_service()
except Exception:
    # unexpected exceptions from calling external service
    do_some_logging()

if result != expected:
    raise MyException()
