tastyerrors 2025.0.1

An awesome library for 40+ additional useful Python exceptions

🌶️ tastyerrors: The Exception Library That Just Gets It

🤯 Why Use tastyerrors?

Look, we've all been there. You're writing code, things break, and Python throws a generic Exception. You stare at the traceback and think, "What am I, a detective?"

tastyerrors is here to stop the madness. We don't just raise exceptions; we give them names, docstrings, and a dedicated place in the hierarchy so you know exactly why your user's password was too short, or why their database connection is on the fritz. We believe every error message should be a small, dramatic novella.

Plus, we’ve made sure our foundation is solid. All of our code, including the whopping 43+ exceptions, is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0. This means you can use, modify, and distribute this library freely, even in commercial applications, as long as you provide proper attribution and adhere to the license terms. Go forth and fail elegantly!

👩‍🍳 Quick Usage: Catching Them All

Thanks to our beautiful, new architecture, you can catch any error from this entire library with a single line. No more long lists of imports!

Example

from tastyerrors import * # Wildcard is approved for quick use!

def check_user_input(username, password):
    if len(password) < 8:
        # A specific error with a clear name
        raise PasswordTooShort("Password requires at least 8 characters, please.")
    if username in ["admin", "root", "dev"]:
        # Another specific error
        raise InappropriateUsername("Reserved names are not allowed.")
    # ... and 41 other fun ways to fail

try:
    check_user_input("my_user", "short")
except TastyErrors as e:
    # Catch ALL 43 custom exceptions from the package in one go!
    print(f"❌ Application Error Caught: {type(e).__name__}")
    print(f"   Reason: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    # Catch general Python errors (like BadType)
    print(f"Python Standard Error: {type(e).__name__}")

InvalidColorFormatError	ColorError	The user gave you "banana" when you needed a hex code (#FFD700).
ColorNotInPaletteError	ColorError	The color is valid, but your design constraints (e.g., brand guidelines) don't allow it.

🚀 Release Notes: v2025.0.1

This is the big one. We didn't just add features; we rebuilt the kitchen foundation.

BREAKING CHANGES (And Why They Are Good)

• Goodbye BaseException: All custom classes now inherit from the standard Python Exception class (via TastyErrors), meaning your users' code won't accidentally catch critical system errors like SystemExit or KeyboardInterrupt. You must now catch TastyErrors instead of previous base classes.

Features & Expansion (The 43 Club)

• New Base Class: Introduced TastyErrors as the single root catch-all for the entire library.
• New Exceptions: Added 5 new, highly requested classes, bringing the total count to 43:
  • RateLimitExceededError
  • DataIntegrityError
  • ColorError
  • InvalidColorFormatError
  • ColorNotInPaletteError
• Professional Docstrings: Every single class now has a clear, professional docstring explaining its intended use case.
