Exploring the default Python error message
By default, Python will generate an error message whenever it encounters a problem in your script. These error messages will not always be very informative to the end user who is running the script. However, it is valuable to take a look at these raw messages. In later recipes, we'll use Python error handling structures to get a cleaner look at the errors and respond as required.
Getting ready
In this recipe, we will create and run a script that intentionally contains error conditions. We will not include any geoprocessing or Python exception handling techniques in the script. We are doing this intentionally because we want you to see the error information returned by Python.
