How can I handle errors when working with dictionaries in Python?

You can handle errors in Python dictionaries using try-except blocks or by using methods like .get() to avoid KeyErrors.

Can you give me an example of using try-except with dictionaries?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
try:
    value = my_dict['c']
except KeyError:
    print('Key not found!')

What about using the .get() method?

The .get() method allows you to specify a default value if the key is not found. For example:

value = my_dict.get('c', 'default_value')
print(value)  # Output: default_value

Are there any other common errors I should be aware of?

Yes, besides KeyErrors, you might encounter TypeErrors if you try to use a non-hashable type as a key. Always ensure your keys are hashable!
