(When an object does not support attribute references or attribute assignments at all, TypeError is raised.)\n\nThe optional name and obj keyword-only arguments set the corresponding attributes\n\nWhen possible, name and obj are set automatically.\n\nRaised when the input function hits an end-of-file condition (EOF) without reading any data. (Note: the io.TextIOBase.read and io.IOBase.readline methods return an empty string when they hit EOF.)\n\nRaised when a generator or coroutine is closed; see generator.close and coroutine.close. It directly inherits from BaseException instead of Exception since it is technically not an error.\n\nRaised when the import statement has troubles trying to load a module. Also raised when the \"from list\" in from ... import has a name that cannot be found.\n\nThe optional name and path keyword-only arguments set the corresponding attributes\n\nA subclass of ImportError which is raised by import when a module could not be located. It is also raised when None is found in sys.modules.\n\nA subclass of ImportError which is raised when a lazy import fails because it (directly or indirectly) tries to import itself.\n\nRaised when a sequence subscript is out of range. (Slice indices are silently truncated to fall in the allowed range; if an index is not an integer, TypeError is raised.)\n\nRaised when a mapping (dictionary) key is not found in the set of existing keys.\n\nRaised when the user hits the interrupt key (normally Control-C or Delete). During execution, a check for interrupts is made regularly. The exception inherits from BaseException so as to not be accidentally caught by code that catches Exception and thus prevent the interpreter from exiting.\n\nRaised when an operation runs out of memory but the situation may still be rescued (by deleting some objects). The associated value is a string indicating what kind of (internal) operation ran out of memory. Note that because of the underlying memory management architecture (C's malloc function), the interpreter may not always be able to completely recover from this situation; it nevertheless raises an exception so that a stack traceback can be printed, in case a run-away program was the cause. …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
