'''I'm using general Exception to print out what the exception is
until I learn them, but
it will print out "[Errno 2] No such file or directory" in this case,
when the real
exception I'd need to use in an except clause is FileNotFoundError.
How do I get the
exception I need to use in the except clause from the more English-like message?

try:
fh = open('nosuchdirectory/text/truthyfalsey.txt')
for line in fh:
print(line,end='')
fh.close()
except Exception as err:
print(err)
