Long Poll

Иногда скрипт крашится с такой ошибкой.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Можно унаследоваться от VkLongPoll и обрабатывать как хочешь:

class MyVkLongPoll(VkLongPoll):
    def listen(self):
        while True:
            try: 
                for event in self.check():
                    yield event
            except Exception as e:
                print('error', e)
                ...
