I have a FLASK API, for which I have used the FLASK-RESTful package: main.py class MyEndpoint(Resource): def post(self): result = my_function() return result my_function is a function imported from another file and it can raise all type of exceptions, including all the python Build-in exceptions.. My question is should I be creating a error_handling.py separate file or what is the convention to handle my exceptions properly? I don't want to end up with something like this: def handle_error(error): # Base structure for JSON error responses error_response = { "error_type": type(error).__name__, "message": str(error) } ### 1. Flask/HTTP-Specific Errors ### if isinstance(error, HTTPException): # This covers HTTP-related errors (404, 400, etc.) return jsonify({ "error_type": error.name, "message": error.description }), error.code ### 2. Python Built-in Exceptions ### elif isinstance(error, ValueError): error_response["message"] = "Invalid value provided." return jsonify(error_response), 400 # Bad Request elif isinstance(error, TypeError): error_response["message"] = "Type mismatch error." return jsonify(error_response), 400 # Bad Request elif isinstance(error, KeyError): error_response["message"] = "Missing required key." return jsonify(error_response), 400 # Bad Request elif isinstance(error, IndexError): error_response["message"] = "Index out of range." return jsonify(error_response), 400 # Bad Request elif isinstance(error, AttributeError): error_response["message"] = "Attribute missing or invalid." return jsonify(error_response), 400 # Bad Request elif isinstance(error, UnboundLocalError): error_response["message"] = "Unbound local variable." return jsonify(error_response), 500 # Internal Server Error elif isinstance(error, ZeroDivisionError): error_response["message"] = "Division by zero error." return jsonify(error_response), 400 # Bad Request elif isinstance(error, FileNotFoundError): error_response["message"] = "File not found." return jsonify(error_response), 404 # Not Found Continue reading...
