And if you read the official Python documentation, you'll find something like exceptions are decided during runtime and are retriable. Errors are not retriable. Well, there are so many, well, exceptions to this rule, even within the official Python code, it's not really worth worrying too much about. They all work the same anyway. Controversial opinion, but errors and exceptions are the same thing. All Python errors and exceptions ultimately extend a class called the base exception. So division by zero error extends arithmetic error, which extends the exception, which extends baseException. And baseException is the thing that gives us really useful and powerful properties of exceptions, which is to halt the…
