What is "except Exception as e" in Python?

except Exception as e is a construct in Python used for exception handling. It allows you to catch exceptions that occur during the execution of a block of code by using a try block to wrap the code that might raise an exception, and an except block to catch and handle the exception. The Exception part specifies that any exception of this type or its subclasses should be caught, and the as e part assigns the caught exception to a variable e, which you can then use to access details about the exception.

Runtime exceptions are exceptions only detected during the execution of your app - things like invalid user input or issues with external resources like files or networks. When an unexpected situation like those occurs, a RuntimeException can be thrown and your app can catch and handle it using a try-catch block.
