## Handling Exceptions
There are 4 types of exception in python connector.
- The exception of Python Connector itself.
- The exception of native library.
- The exception of websocket
- The exception of subscription.
- The exception of other TDengine function modules.
|Error Type|Description|Suggested Actions|
|:--------:|:---------:|:---------------:|
|InterfaceError|the native library is too old that it cannot support the function|please check the TDengine client version|
|ConnectionError|connection error|please check TDengine's status and the connection params|
|DatabaseError|database error|please upgrade Python connector to latest|
|OperationalError|operation error||
|ProgrammingError|||
|StatementError|the exception of stmt||
|ResultError|||
|SchemalessError|the exception of stmt schemaless||
|TmqError|the exception of stmt tmq||
It usually uses try-expect to handle exceptions in python. For exception handling, please refer to [Python Errors and Exceptions Documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/errors.html).
All exceptions from the Python Connector are thrown directly. Applications should handle these exceptions. For example:
- Native connections support all the core features of TDengine, including connection management, SQL execution, bind interface, subscriptions, and schemaless writing.

The `Connection` class contains both an implementation of the PEP249 Connection interface (e.g., the `cursor()` method and the `close()` method) and many extensions (e.g., the `execute()`, `query()`, `schemaless_insert()`, and `subscribe()` methods).
The queried results can only be fetched once. For example, only one of `fetch_all()` and `fetch_all_into_dict()` can be used in the example above. Repeated fetches will result in an empty list.

The `RestClient` class is a direct wrapper for the [REST API](/reference/rest-api). It contains only a `sql()` method for executing arbitrary SQL statements and returning the result.
The `consumer` in the connector contains the subscription api.
#### Create Consumer
The syntax for creating a consumer is `consumer = Consumer(configs)`. For more subscription api parameters, please refer to [Data Subscription](../../../develop/tmq/).
The `subscribe` function is used to subscribe to a list of topics.
```python
consumer.subscribe(['topic1', 'topic2'])
```
#### Consume
The `poll` function is used to consume data in tmq. The parameter of the `poll` function is a value of type float representing the timeout in seconds. It returns a `Message` before timing out, or `None` on timing out. You have to handle error messages in response data.
```python
while True:
res = consumer.poll(1)
if not res:
continue
err = res.error()
if err is not None:
raise err
val = res.value()
for block in val:
print(block.fetchall())
```
#### assignment
The `assignment` function is used to get the assignment of the topic.
```python
assignments = consumer.assignment()
```
#### Seek
The `seek` function is used to reset the assignment of the topic.
In addition to native connections, the connector also supports subscriptions via websockets.
#### Create Consumer
The syntax for creating a consumer is "consumer = consumer = Consumer(conf=configs)". You need to specify that the `td.connect.websocket.scheme` parameter is set to "ws" in the configuration. For more subscription api parameters, please refer to [Data Subscription](../../../develop/tmq/#create-a-consumer).
The `subscribe` function is used to subscribe to a list of topics.
```python
consumer.subscribe(['topic1', 'topic2'])
```
#### Consume
The `poll` function is used to consume data in tmq. The parameter of the `poll` function is a value of type float representing the timeout in seconds. It returns a `Message` before timing out, or `None` on timing out. You have to handle error messages in response data.
```python
while True:
res = consumer.poll(timeout=1.0)
if not res:
continue
err = res.error()
if err is not None:
raise err
for block in message:
for row in block:

### Parameter Binding
The Python connector provides a parameter binding api for inserting data. Similar to most databases, TDengine currently only supports the question mark `?` to indicate the parameters to be bound.

## Other notes
### Exception handling
All errors from database operations are thrown directly as exceptions and the error message from the database is passed up the exception stack. The application is responsible for exception handling. For example:
Due to the current imperfection of Python's nanosecond support (see link below), the current implementation returns integers at nanosecond precision instead of the `datetime` type produced by `ms` and `us`, which application developers will need to handle on their own. And it is recommended to use pandas' to_datetime(). The Python Connector may modify the interface in the future if Python officially supports nanoseconds in full.
