What is the `contextlib.suppress` context manager?

Question

Accepted Answer

**suppress** — ignores specific exceptions cleanly.

```python
from contextlib import suppress

# Without suppress
import os
try:
    os.remove("file.txt")
except FileNotFoundError:
    pass

# With suppress
with suppress(FileNotFoundError):
    os.remove("file.txt")

# Multiple exceptions
with suppress(FileNotFoundError, PermissionError, OSError):
    os.remove("file.txt")

# In try/except patterns
with suppress(KeyError):
    value = my_dict["missing_key"]
```

**Best practices:**
- Use when you explicitly want to ignore specific exceptions.
- Don't use for broad exception handling.
- Makes intent clearer than bare `except: pass`.
