# Python Error Handling

Decide what your code does when things go wrong

## What this does

Your Python works when the input is right, and you have not decided what happens when it is not. This covers checking input, organizing your exceptions, and coping when part of a batch fails. Reach for it when failure handling is still ad hoc.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Validate incoming input
- Design an exception hierarchy
- Handle a batch where some items fail

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Python Error Handling

This covers error handling in Python: validating input, designing exception hierarchies, and dealing with partial failure.

It applies when you are writing validation logic, deciding on an exception strategy, handling batch processing where some items fail, or building APIs that need to hold up when things go wrong.

## Questions

### Is Python Error Handling safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Python Error Handling and recorded 0 findings and 2 flagged items. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/python-error-handling.

### How do I install Python Error Handling?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/python-error-handling on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/python-development/skills/python-error-handling. Install from that link, not the branch.
