How can you catch an exception thrown by another thread in Python?

Question

If I start another thread in "try" block and that thread calls an exception, "except" block doesn't catch it. How can I fix it?
Sorry if it's a dumb question 🥴

Answer 1

Do not apologize, and it is not a dumb question, multi-threading is a complicated topic. If you're using Python 3.8 you can try to use:

"threading.excepthook(args, /)"

It is used to "Handle uncaught exception raised by Thread.run()."

https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.excepthook

ps: you can also try this:

Answer 2

You can also use parent exception handling except for exception which is not covered by previous exception handlers..
Try :
....
except (Exception 1) :
....
except (exception n) :
except :
#every other exception can be caught here..

Steven M tnx for answer, excepthook doesn't seem to handle an exception by 'except' block in a main thread, does it? I've tried it and it catches the exception but doesn't give the exception to 'except' block anyway, though that's all I need
