Exceptions and File I/O

A developer implements a custom exception class `DataError` that inherits from `Exception`. Which method override is essential to ensure the exception message is properly displayed when caught?

Which of the following statements about the `finally` block is true?

What is the output of the Python code after reading the config.txt file?

Drag and drop the steps to serialize a Python object to JSON using the json module into the correct order.

Match each Python data structure to its mutability.

A developer writes a function that reads a file and processes its content. The function should handle the case where the file does not exist without catching other I/O errors. Which exception should be caught?

A developer is working on a data pipeline that processes files from untrusted sources. The pipeline should catch and log any exception, but also ensure that sensitive information from the exception (e.g., file paths) is not exposed to end users. Which approach balances security and debugging?

A developer is building a logging system that writes logs to a file. The system should handle disk-full situations gracefully without crashing the main application. Which approach is appropriate?

A developer is creating a custom exception hierarchy for a library. The base exception is `LibraryError`. Which definition ensures that subclasses can be caught using the parent exception, but also allows distinguishing between different error types?

Refer to the exhibit. A developer ran the script and saw the above traceback. The intended behavior was to load a JSON configuration file, and if the file is missing, create a default config. What is the most likely root cause of the second exception (NameError)?

Refer to the exhibit. A developer is writing a script to read this JSON configuration file. The script should write the logging configuration to a separate file called 'logging.conf'. Which file mode should be used to create the file if it doesn't exist, and overwrite it if it does?

What is the output of the following code? try: exec('1/0') except: print('error') else: print('no error') finally: print('done')

Which TWO of the following file modes will create a new file if it doesn't exist? (Select exactly 2)

Which THREE of the following statements about Python's 'with' statement are true? (Select exactly 3)

In Python, if you have a try block followed by an except clause that catches all exceptions, which of the following is true about the else clause?

Consider the code fragment: f = open('data.txt', 'r') data = f.read() process_data(data) f.close() What is the primary risk if an exception occurs during process_data(data)?

A developer writes a script to read a configuration file that may not exist. The script should handle the error gracefully and continue. Which approach is most Pythonic?

A developer is implementing a custom exception for invalid data. Which class should the custom exception inherit from?

A senior developer in a team argues that using try-except blocks is slower than checking conditions with if statements. They propose replacing all try blocks that handle file I/O errors with existence checks using os.path.exists before opening files. During a code review, you recall that Python's official documentation and best practices prefer EAFP (Easier to Ask for Forgiveness than Permission) over LBYL (Look Before You Leap) in many cases, especially in concurrent environments. The team's application is a multi-threaded web server that serves static files from a shared directory. Which is the strongest counterargument against the senior developer's proposal?

Refer to the exhibit. What is the output of the code?

Refer to the exhibit. What is the effect of using 'from None' in the raise statement?
