Go already has panic/recover which where explicitly proposed as an exception like mechanism for go.

The convention in the Go libraries is that even when a package uses panic internally, its external API still presents explicit error return values. -- https://blog.golang.org/defer-panic-and-recover

I belive this means that using this mechanism similarly to try/except in Python is not possible (I write 20 lines in go so this is quite a wild guess)
