How do I handle exceptions in Python's async functions?

In Python, you can handle exceptions in async functions using try-except blocks just like in synchronous code.

Can you give me an example of that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import asyncio

async def risky_function():
    raise ValueError('An error occurred!')

async def main():
    try:
        await risky_function()
    except ValueError as e:
        print(f'Caught an exception: {e}')

asyncio.run(main())

What if I want to handle multiple exceptions?

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

try:
    await risky_function()
except (ValueError, TypeError) as e:
    print(f'Caught an exception: {e}')
