How to ingore "AttributeError: exception

[Ganesh Pal]

I have two possible values for Z_block in the block code i.e
disk_object.data.data.di_data[0] or block.data.data.di_data.data[0][0]


def get_block():
    ''' Get Z block ''

    if block.data.data.di_data.data[0][0] is not None:
        Z_block = block.data.data.di_data.data[0][0]

    else:
         Z_block = disk_object.data.data.di_data[0]

    if not Z_block:
        return False

    return Z_block




I have a problem with if and else  satement i.e  if  IF codition fails  the
code would exit with  "AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute
'data' " error

Any suggestion on how this can be handled better , Will ignoring the
exceptions in try -except with pass be good or are there easier ways ) ,


try:
    Z_block = block.data.data.di_data.data[0][0]except AttributeError as e:

    pass
