I would not silently ignore parser errors. Call a different function instead if you just want the raw string returned. Otherwise we could silently return a string for something that should be an integer

[arun3688]

@sjoelund , should we simply add a default flag "parsed=True" similar to OMPython and the user can explictity specify parsed = false incase of raw string

[sjoelund]

We could do that, yes.

I think it should be a keyword argument. Otherwise it's not visible what the last argument is doing since you cannot pass sendExpression(omc, cmd, parsed=false) now.
