Learning Exceptions
===================

Just a little bit for the basics.

Exceptions Lab
---------------

Improving ``input``

* The ``input()``  function can generate two exceptions: ``EOFError`` or ``KeyboardInterrupt``  on end-of-file(EOF) or canceled input.

* Create a wrapper function, perhaps ``safe_input()``  that returns ``None`` rather rather than raising these exceptions, when the user enters ``^C``  for Keyboard Interrupt, or ``^D`` (``^Z``  on Windows) for End Of File.

* Update your mailroom program to use exceptions to handle malformed numeric input.
