Overcoming ZeroDivisionError: division by zero Error
#4
Hmm, still receive ZeroDivisionError: division by zero, trying the following:

from ast import literal_eval

with open("C:\Dave\data.txt") as f :
    for line in f :
        name, values = line.split(' = ')
        values = literal_eval(values)

        print(f" District: {name}")
        print(f"Hal received {values[3]} votes AVG: -  {values[3] / sum(values):.2%}).")

try :
    print(f"Hal received {values[3]}")
except ZeroDivisionError :
    ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python37-32/read1.py", line 9, in <module>
print(f"Hal received {values[3]} votes AVG: - {values[3] / sum(values):.2%}).")
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

I think I am having trouble including the for loop in the code above when division by zero occurs:

#this works
try:
    (print (1/0))
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print ("You can't divide by zero, you're silly.")
