There is actually a python module that does something like that. It goes to the extreme to keep the program running no matter the error you make, arithmetic error are replaced with random results, missing functions skipped, exceptions silently swallowed etc etc. It is obviously a joke but they could benefit greatly from this feature ;)

For those who are interested, I'm pretty sure this is what you're referring to https://github.com/ajalt/fuckitpy. It's worth looking into for the documentation alone.

YES! Thank you

    FuckIt.py uses state-of-the-art technology to make sure your Python 
    code runs whether it has any right to or not. Some code has an error? Fuck it.

    FuckIt.py uses a combination of dynamic compilation, Abstract Syntax Tree 
    rewriting, live call stack modification, and love to get rid of all those 
    pesky errors that make programming so hard.

    Still getting errors? Chain fuckit calls. This module is like violence: 
    if it doesn't work, you just need more of it.

Sounds like the Python equivalent of Visual BASIC's "On Error Resume Next" atrocity.

Except you can find "On Error Resume Next" in "production" code. If I ever consider taking contracts doing Visual Basic, the contract will specify that any occurrence of "On Error Resume Next" automatically doubles my daily rate.
