How to handle errors raised in an imported python package code?

Question

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\farha\Desktop\VoicebotRuuh_6_langs_Modified - Copy\chatbot.py", line 188, in exec() File "C:\Users\farha\Desktop\VoicebotRuuh_6_langs_Modified - Copy\chatbot.py", line 121, in exec result = r.recognize_google(audio) File "C:\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\speech_recognition__init__.py", line 859, in recognize_google if not isinstance(actual_result, dict) or len(actual_result.get("alternative", [])) == 0: raise UnknownValueError() speech_recognition.UnknownValueError

This is what I get when I run 'python chatbot.py'
There is an error raised in init.py file which is a file in the python package called speech_recognition, which is imported into chatbot.py.
Following is a snippet of chatbot.py based on this problem.

import speech_recognition as sr
try:
 audio = r.record(source, duration = 5)
 #print("Done")
except:
 exec()

• I guess this is not working because the error is raised in the imported python package file but not in the main file (chatbot.py)
• How do I handle this error?

• abc: In practice what is the question? How to handle errors when importing modules or how to solve your specific issue?
• Ujwala Patil: you got any solution for this r.recognize_google(audio) ??? i got the same error too.

Answer 1

use the error as an exception!

 import speech_recognition as sr
 try:
 audio = r.record(source, duration = 5)
 #print("Done")
 except sr.UnknownValueError:
 exec()
