BaseExceptionGroup

In Python, BaseExceptionGroup is a built-in exception that inherits from BaseException and, therefore, allows for wrapping any exceptions.

Exception groups allow you to raise and catch multiple exceptions simultaneously, which can be particularly useful in asynchronous programming when multiple tasks may fail concurrently.

BaseExceptionGroup Can Be Used When

  • Handling multiple exceptions raised from concurrent tasks in asynchronous programming
  • Encapsulating different exceptions that occur simultaneously in complex operations
  • Grouping exceptions of different types that arise from various sources in a program
