You don't need to look for errors. If you remove the try/except then
they show up automatically. For example (in the interpreter):

$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> open('Desktop')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 'Desktop'

The last three lines above are the error message that people were
expecting you to show here. They contains lots of useful information:
1) The type of the error
2) A message "Is a directory" and in this case a cryptic code 21 (that
some might find useful).
3) The line of code that caused the error (this is more useful when
running code saved in a file).

What you are doing, however, is this:

>>> try:
...   open('Desktop')
... except:
...   print('An error occurred...')
...
An error occurred...

Which gives a much less useful error message. So just remove the try/except.
