Django Exceptions
=================


Django raises some Django specific exceptions as well as many standard
Python exceptions.

Django-specific Exceptions
==========================

.. module:: django.core.exceptions
    :synopsis: Django specific exceptions

ObjectDoesNotExist and DoesNotExist
-----------------------------------
.. exception:: DoesNotExist
.. exception:: ObjectDoesNotExist

    The :exc:`DoesNotExist` exception is raised when an object is not found
    for the given parameters of a query.

    :exc:`ObjectDoesNotExist` is defined in :mod:`django.core.exceptions`.
    :exc:`DoesNotExist` is a subclass of the base :exc:`ObjectDoesNotExist`
    exception that is provided on every model class as a way of
    identifying the specific type of object that could not be found.

    See :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.get()` for further information
    on :exc:`ObjectDoesNotExist` and :exc:`DoesNotExist`.

MultipleObjectsReturned
-----------------------
.. exception:: MultipleObjectsReturned

    The :exc:`MultipleObjectsReturned` exception is raised by a query if only
    one object is expected, but multiple objects are returned. A base version
    of this exception is provided in :mod:`django.core.exceptions`; each model
    class contains a subclassed version that can be used to identify the
    specific object type that has returned multiple objects.

    See :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.get()` for further information.

SuspiciousOperation
-------------------
.. exception:: SuspiciousOperation

    The :exc:`SuspiciousOperation` exception is raised when a user has performed
    an operation that should be considered suspicious from a security perspective,
    such as tampering with a session cookie.

PermissionDenied
----------------
.. exception:: PermissionDenied

    The :exc:`PermissionDenied` exception is raised when a user does not have
    permission to perform the action requested.

ViewDoesNotExist
----------------
.. exception:: ViewDoesNotExist

    The :exc:`ViewDoesNotExist` exception is raised by
    :mod:`django.core.urlresolvers` when a requested view does not exist.

MiddlewareNotUsed
-----------------
.. exception:: MiddlewareNotUsed

    The :exc:`MiddlewareNotUsed` exception is raised when a middleware is not
    used in the server configuration.

ImproperlyConfigured
--------------------
.. exception:: ImproperlyConfigured

    The :exc:`ImproperlyConfigured` exception is raised when Django is
    somehow improperly configured -- for example, if a value in ``settings.py``
    is incorrect or unparseable.

FieldError
----------
.. exception:: FieldError

    The :exc:`FieldError` exception is raised when there is a problem with a
    model field. This can happen for several reasons:

    - A field in a model clashes with a field of the same name from an
      abstract base class
    - An infinite loop is caused by ordering
    - A keyword cannot be parsed from the filter parameters
    - A field cannot be determined from a keyword in the query
      parameters
    - A join is not permitted on the specified field
    - A field name is invalid
    - A query contains invalid order_by arguments

ValidationError
---------------
.. exception:: ValidationError

    The :exc:`ValidationError` exception is raised when data fails form or
    model field validation. For more information about validation, see
    :doc:`Form and Field Validation </ref/forms/validation>`,
    :ref:`Model Field Validation <validating-objects>` and the
    :doc:`Validator Reference </ref/validators>`.

.. currentmodule:: django.core.urlresolvers

NoReverseMatch
--------------
.. exception:: NoReverseMatch

    The :exc:`NoReverseMatch` exception is raised by
    :mod:`django.core.urlresolvers` when a matching URL in your URLconf
    cannot be identified based on the parameters supplied.

.. currentmodule:: django.db

Database Exceptions
===================

Django wraps the standard database exceptions so that your Django code has a
guaranteed common implementation of these classes. These database exceptions
are provided in :mod:`django.db`.

.. exception:: Error
.. exception:: InterfaceError
.. exception:: DatabaseError
.. exception:: DataError
.. exception:: OperationalError
.. exception:: IntegrityError
.. exception:: InternalError
.. exception:: ProgrammingError
.. exception:: NotSupportedError

The Django wrappers for database exceptions behave exactly the same as
the underlying database exceptions. See :pep:`249`, the Python Database API
Specification v2.0, for further information.

.. versionchanged:: 1.6

    Previous version of Django only wrapped ``DatabaseError`` and
    ``IntegrityError``.

.. exception:: models.ProtectedError

Raised to prevent deletion of referenced objects when using
:attr:`django.db.models.PROTECT`. Subclass of :exc:`IntegrityError`.

.. currentmodule:: django.http

Http Exceptions
===============

.. exception:: UnreadablePostError

    The :exc:`UnreadablePostError` is raised when a user cancels an upload.
    It is available from :mod:`django.http`.

.. currentmodule:: django.db.transaction

Transaction Exceptions
======================

.. exception:: TransactionManagementError

    The :exc:`TransactionManagementError` is raised for any and all problems
    related to database transactions. It is available from
    :mod:`django.db.transaction`.

Python Exceptions
=================

Django raises built-in Python exceptions when appropriate as well. See the
Python documentation for further information on the
built-in :mod:`exceptions`.
