Have you ever used a library, ran into a generic AttributeError, and then had to go chase down what the problem _actually_ was? Wouldn't it be great to help others from running into that same issue on _your_ code? In this talk, we take a look at custom exceptions in Python and ways to structure your code to use them effectively to communicate issues back to the end user (or end developer). We'll also cover a few cool lesser-used things you can do with exceptions to make your code really stand out!

North Bay Python is a boutique one-track conference, held in Petaluma, California. Our first events were held in 2017-2019 in a 100 year-old theater in the city's downtown. After a planned one-year break that's turned into almost four years, we're excited to return!

This year, we're holding our conference in July, in a barn, on a ranch overlooking the Petaluma River.
