Nope, exceptions in Python are not the same. There are a lot of standard exceptions

https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#concrete-e...

and standard about exception type hierarchy

https://peps.python.org/pep-0249/#exceptions

Also in most languages "catch Exception:" (or similar expression) is considered a bad style. People are taught to catch specific exceptions. Nothing like that happens in Go.

Sure, there is a hierarchy. But the hierarchy is open. You still need to recurse down the entire call stack to figure out which exceptions might be raised.

C also doesn’t have exceptions and C++ similarly can distinguish between exception types (unless you just throws a generic std::exception everywhere).
