Built in Numpy Exceptions?

Question

In numpy are there any generic exceptions that can be called? From numpy docs I only saw specific ones such as LinAlgError

For example, I know that Python has these error types built in:

• Exception
• StandardError
• ArithmeticError
• ImportError
• IndexError
• KeyError
• NotImplementedError

etc.

Answer 1

No, LinAlgError doesn't inherit from anything. It's a generic error for when the linear algebra fails.

>>> numpy.linalg.LinAlgError.__bases__
(<type 'exceptions.Exception'>,)

If you explain the particular circumstances under which you would like to raise this 'generic exception', we might be able to suggest what to use.
