How can I handle specific exceptions in Django?

In Django, you can handle specific exceptions by using try-except blocks. You can catch exceptions like Http404 or ValidationError.

Can you show me an example of catching a ValidationError?

Sure! You can do something like this:

from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError

try:
    # some code that may raise a ValidationError
except ValidationError as e:
    # handle the exception
    print(f'Validation error: {e}')

What about handling multiple exceptions?

You can catch multiple exceptions by specifying them in a tuple:

try:
    # some code
except (ValidationError, Http404) as e:
    # handle both exceptions
    print(f'Error: {e}')

Is there a way to create custom exceptions in Django?

Yes, you can create custom exceptions by subclassing the built-in Exception class. Just define your own exception class and raise it when needed.
