Installation

pip install try2

Installation

pip install try2

Quickstart

from try2 import try2

def reciprocal(n):
    return 1 / n

ls = [1, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4]

for number in ls:
    x = try2(reciprocal, number, default="bad")
    print(number, "=>", x)

# 1 => 1.0
# 2 => 0.5
# 0 => bad
# 3 => 0.3333333333333333
# 0 => bad
# 4 => 0.25

Why I wrote this

I needed a simply one-liner try-except function for many of my projects, and I found myself defining helper try-except functions everywhere, which got annoying quickly

But what if I need a more complex try-except wrapper?

If your wrapper gets any more complex than this, it's probably a good idea to write your own function
