UnicodeTranslateError

built-in exceptions

An error while translating Unicode characters (rare).

Syntax

raise UnicodeTranslateError

You will almost never meet it in ordinary code: the object exists so that error handlers registered through codecs.register_error can tell the translation case apart from encoding and decoding. Unlike its siblings, the constructor takes four arguments and no encoding — just object, start, end and reason. There is no reason to write a dedicated except clause for it in coursework.

Examples

try:
    raise UnicodeTranslateError('x', 0, 1, 'reason')
except UnicodeTranslateError as e:
    print(type(e).__name__)   # → UnicodeTranslateError
