I'm learning to use python. I just came across this article: http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200711/rethrowing_exceptions_in_python.html It describes rethrowing exceptions in python, like this:

try:
    do_something_dangerous()
except:
    do_something_to_apologize()
    raise

Since you re-throw the exception, there shouoldshould be an "outer catch-except" statement. But now, I was thinking. What if, what if the do_something_to_apologize()do_something_to_apologize() inside the except throws an error. Which one will be caught in the outer "catch-except"? The one you rethrow or the one thrown by do_something_to_apologize()do_something_to_apologize() ? Or will the exception with the highest priotiry be caught first?
