Catch anything and save it into a variable
Question: I'm wondering if there is a keyword for "all" in python `except`. I've ran
into this seemingly simple problem:

    
    
    try:
        #do stuff
    except any as error:
        print('error: {err}'.format(err=error))
    

I know that you can do `except:` to catch all errors, but I don't know how to
add an `as` keyword to get a `print`able object. I want to catch any error and
be able to get an object for use in printing or something else.


Answer: You can catch almost anything this way:

    
    
    try:
        #do stuff
    except Exception as error:
        print('error: {err}'.format(err=error))
    

But to catch really everything, you can do this:

    
    
    import sys
    
    try:
        #do stuff
    except:
        err_type, error, traceback = sys.exc_info()
        print('error: {err}'.format(err=error))
