All sorts of exceptions. The best way to find out is to write your
code without any try/except clauses, and then run it. When an
exception happens, it'll be printed out on the console, and the
program terminated. Then you can decide how your program should cope
with that. Catch an exception *only* if you can actually deal with it
inside your code; otherwise, just let it bubble up.
