I have no clue what your actual goal is, but it might be better to do
the function call in the try/except block inside the loop. Otherwise
your try/except block makes no sense because there's nothing being
executed inside it:

for test in [print1,print2,print3]:
    try:
        test()
    except AssertionError as exc:
        print exc
