👉 The `except` keyword in Python is used to catch exceptions that occur within a specific block of code, allowing developers to handle errors gracefully without the program crashing. It is often paired with the `try` block, where the code that might raise an exception is placed. The `except` clause specifies the type of exception to catch (e.g., `except ValueError:`) and provides a block of code to execute if the specified exception occurs. This mechanism enhances program robustness by enabling error management and recovery, ensuring that unexpected issues do not halt the execution flow.
