How to print an error in Python

Question

try:
    something here
except:
    print 'the whatever error occurred.'

How can I print the error in my except: block?

Answer 1

For Python 2.6 and later and Python 3.x:

except Exception as e:
    print(e)

For Python 2.5 and earlier, use:

except Exception,e:
    print str(e)
