dol.errors.items_with_caught_exceptions(d: collections.abc.Mapping, callback=None, catch_exceptions=(<class 'Exception'>, ), yield_callback_output=False)[source]

Do what Mapping.items() does, but catching exceptions when getting the values for a key.

Some time your store.items() is annoying because of some exceptions that happen when you’re retrieving some value for some of the keys.

Yes, if that happens, it’s that something is wrong with your store, and yes, if it’s a store that’s going to be used a lot, you really should build the right store that doesn’t have that problem.

But now that we appeased the paranoid naysayers with that warning, let’s get to business: Sometimes you just want to get through the hurdle to get the job done. Sometimes your store is good enough, except for a few exceptions. Sometimes your store gets it’s keys from a large pool of possible keys (e.g. github stores or kaggle stores, or any store created by a free-form search seed), so you can’t really depend on the fact that all the keys given by your key iterator will give you a value without exception – especially if you slapped on a bunch of post-processing on the out-coming values.

So you can right a for loop to iterate over your keys, catch the exceptions, do something with it…

Or, in many cases, you can just use items_with_caught_exceptions.

Parameters
  • d – Any Mapping

  • catch_exceptions – A tuple of exceptions that should be caught

  • callback

    A function that will be called every time an exception is caught. The signature of the callback function is required to be:

    k (key), e (error obj), d (mapping), i (index)

    but

Returns

An (key, val) generator with exceptions caught
