noexcept 1.5.3

A callable interface for structured exceptions

No Exceptions

A callable interface for structured exceptions in Python, allowing dynamic registration of error codes, soft (non-raising) codes, exception propagation with context, and grouping multiple errors.

Features

• Dynamic Error Codes: Register custom error codes with default complaints at runtime.
• Soft Errors: Define codes that don’t immediately raise exceptions, useful for warning accumulation.
• Error Propagation: Wrap existing exceptions under new error codes while preserving context.
• Exception Linking: Attach underlying exceptions to your custom errors for full traceability.
• ExceptionGroup Support: Bundle multiple error codes into a single ExceptionGroup.
• Rich String Output: Automatically include codes, complaints, linked exceptions, and stack traces when converting to string.

Installation

Requires Python 3.11 or newer.

With PIP

pip install noexcept

With GitHub

pip install git+https://github.com/HiDrNikki/noexcept.git

pip install git+https://github.com/HiDrNikki/noexcept.git@v1.2.2

pip install -e git+https://github.com/HiDrNikki/noexcept.git@main#egg=noexcept

Quick Start

Import the callable exception handler and register your error codes:

from noexcept import no

Register codes at startup

no.likey(404, "Not Found")            # Standard error
no.likey(500, "Server Error")         # Standard error
no.likey(123, "Soft Error", soft=True)  # Soft (non-raising)

Raising an Exception

from noexcept import no

try:
    no(404)
except no.way as noexcept:
    print(str(noexcept))
    # [404]
    # Not Found

Soft Errors

Soft codes don’t immediately raise:

no(123)  # No exception is thrown because code 123 is registered as soft

Propagating Errors

Wrap an existing exception under a new code:

try:
    raise ValueError("underlying issue")
except ValueError as ve:
    try:
        no(500, ve)  # Raises a no.way with 500 as the linked ValueError
    except no.way as noexcept:
        print(noexcept)

Linking Underlying Exceptions

Add an existing exception to a new code without raising immediately:

try:
    raise KeyError("missing key")
except KeyError as ke:
    no(404, ke, soften=True)

Grouping Multiple Errors

Bundle multiple codes in one go:

try:
    no([404, 500])
except ExceptionGroup as eg:
    for subexc in eg.exceptions:
        print(subexc)

no.go

no.go provides a context manager for cleanly handling exceptions:

with no.go(404):
    raise ValueError("Original issue")  # Automatically wrapped under code 404

It can also be used in line to run a callable, and raise an error code if it fails.

result = no.go(404, myFunction, *args, **kwargs, soften = True)

In both cases the raw error that is thrown is linked to whatever code is passed.

no.bueno

no.bueno indicates if any soft errors have yet been registered:

no(123)
if no.bueno:
    print("Issues detected")

no.nos

no.nos contains details of all registered error codes:

print(no.nos)
# {404: 'Not Found', 500: 'Server Error', 123: 'Soft Error'}

no.complaints

no.complaints accumulates soft error messages:

no(123)
no(123, "Extra warning detail")

print(no.complaints)
# ['Soft Error', 'Soft Error: Extra warning detail']

API Reference

Import the handler

from noexcept import no

Register error codes

no.likey(code: int, complaint: str, soften: bool = False)

Raise exceptions

no(code: int | list[int] | Exception, complaint: str = None, soften: bool = False)

Base exception type

no.way

Inline error safe code execution, or context manager

no.go

A boolean indicating whether any soft errors have been triggered yet

no.bueno

A dictionary containing all the currently triggered codes

no.nos

A flat list of all of the error messages

no.complaints

Clears the pending exception, along with all codes and messages

no.dice()
