Ruby equivalent for Python's "try"?

I'm trying to convert some Python code into Ruby. Is there an equivalent in Ruby to the try statement in Python?
Use this as an example: begin # "try" block puts 'I am before the raise.' raise 'An error has occurred.' # optionally: `raise Exception, "message"` puts 'I am after the raise.' # won't be executed rescue # optionally: `rescue StandardError => ex` puts 'I am rescued.' ensure # will always get executed puts 'Always gets executed.' end The equivalent code in Python would be: try: # try block print('I am before the raise.') raise Exception('An error has occurred.') # throw an exception print('I am after the raise.') # won't be executed except: # optionally: `except Exception as ex:` print('I am rescued.') finally: # will always get executed print('Always gets executed.')
