The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. Now is better than never. Although never is often better than right now. If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea. Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

所以，这是我的观点。每当你发现一个错误，你应该做一些事情来处理它，即把它写在日志文件或其他东西。至少，它告诉您曾经有一个错误。

第一个原因已经说过了——它隐藏了你没有预料到的错误。

(#2)——它使你的代码难以被其他人阅读和理解。如果你捕捉FileNotFoundException当你试图读取一个文件，那么它是相当明显的另一个开发人员'catch'块应该有什么功能。如果您没有指定异常，那么您需要额外的注释来解释该块应该做什么。

(#3) -它演示了惰性编程。如果您使用通用的try/catch，则表明您不了解程序中可能的运行时错误，或者您不知道Python中可能存在哪些异常。捕捉特定的错误表明您了解程序和Python抛出的错误范围。这更有可能使其他开发人员和代码审查人员信任您的工作。

首先，它违背了Python的两个禅宗原则:

显性比隐性好 错误绝不能悄无声息地过去

它的意思是，你故意让你的错误悄无声息地过去。此外，您不知道究竟发生了哪个错误，因为except: pass将捕获任何异常。

其次，如果我们试图从Python的禅意中抽象出来，而只是从理智的角度来说话，你应该知道，使用except:pass会让你在系统中失去知识和控制。经验法则是，如果发生错误，就引发异常，并采取适当的操作。如果你事先不知道这些操作应该是什么，至少在某个地方记录错误(最好重新引发异常):

try:
    something
except:
    logger.exception('Something happened')

但是，通常情况下，如果您试图捕获任何异常，那么您可能正在做错误的事情!

你至少应该使用except Exception:来避免捕获系统异常，如SystemExit或KeyboardInterrupt。这里是文档链接。

一般来说，您应该显式地定义想要捕获的异常，以避免捕获不想要的异常。您应该知道您忽略了哪些异常。

处理错误在编程中是非常重要的。您确实需要向用户展示哪里出了问题。在极少数情况下，您可以忽略这些错误。这是非常糟糕的编程习惯。

通常，您可以将任何错误/异常分为以下三类之一:

Fatal: Not your fault, you cannot prevent them, you cannot recover from them. You should certainly not ignore them and continue, and leave your program in an unknown state. Just let the error terminate your program, there is nothing you can do. Boneheaded: Your own fault, most likely due to an oversight, bug or programming error. You should fix the bug. Again, you should most certainly not ignore and continue. Exogenous: You can expect these errors in exceptional situations, such as file not found or connection terminated. You should explicitly handle these errors, and only these.

在除了:pass之外的所有情况下，pass只会让你的程序处于未知状态，在这种状态下它会造成更多的损害。
