How do i return error in exception in python?

Question

I want to return the error in my code that I wrote in python. I can't do this. How can I do it?

def proc():
    try:
        a=2/0
    except Exception as e:
        print("Except")
        raise f"{e}"
    else:
        return "Success"

result=proc()
print("result : ",result)

I tried using direct raise but it didn't work? How can I do?

If you want the error to be reported just don't catch it. And you'll get the ZeroDivisionError raised inside proc(). — 0x0fba

Don't you just want to return the error? Instead of raising it? — Nice Zombies

How do you know it didn't work? See how to create a minimal reproducible example and edit the question. You used to be able to raise a string literal as an exception in Python 2, but this has been deprecated for a long time, since 2.5, and removed in 3.0. — Open AI - Opting Out

What exactly do you want to return? Did you notice the TypeError when you tried running this code? Have you looked at the documentation for raise. If not, here it is for your convenience: docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#raise — jackal

If you just want to return the error message with the class name, you could probably do this:

def proc():
    try:
        a=2/0
    except Exception as e:
        print("Except")
        return repr(e) # Repr is a great solution
    else:
        return "Success"

result=proc()
print("result : ",result)

Result:

Except
result :  ZeroDivisionError(division by zero)
