Print own message, if Python unable to parse xml data

Question

Let us suppose. I have xml data, which is not well-formed. Can I print own message like:

xml is not well performed

.

python code

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
root = ET.parse('data.xml').getroot()
# ParseError: mismatched tag: line 8, column 26
print('xml is not well performed')

You can wrap your ET.parse in a try-except block. If an exception is raised, print a message. — Paul M.

try this:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
try:
    root = ET.parse('data.xml').getroot()
except:
    print('xml is not well performed')
