Lennart Grahl added the comment:
When using binascii.a2b_hex (or binascii.unhexlify) and the argument is
invalid, the doc states that it should raise a TypeError for invalid arguments
(e.g. passing an odd-length string).
However, it does raise binascii.Error instead of TypeError:
try:
binascii.a2b_hex('a')
except Exception as exc:
print(type(exc))
What surprised me even more was that it raises ValueError (although
binascii.Error inherits ValueError) in case a unicode string has been passed as
an argument:
try:
binascii.a2b_hex('รค')
except binascii.Error:
print('binascii.Error')
except ValueError:
print('ValueError')
