im using config parser to read an ini file for links then put those links into an array for later use i tried using the try function but i cant seem to get it working

i feel its a simple solution and i just cant see it

config_read = configparser.ConfigParser()
config_read.read("default.ini")

current = 0
all_links = []
while True:
	try:
		current = current + 1
		tst =  "link"+ str(current)
		link = config_read.get("links",tst )

		time.sleep(0.25)
		all_links.append(link)
		print(link)
	except:
		pass
		
print(all_links)

edit:
heres the ini file too

[links]
link1=1
link2=2
link3=3
link4=4
link5=5
2

Have you tried break instead of pass? That should break the while loop.
