Do not replace full error information (including a traceback)
with your own reduced error message.
If you omit your "try ... except FileNotFoundError`
(or start the `except` clause with a `raise`), you
will learn where in the code the exception has been raised
and likely as well what was not found (Python is quite good
with such error details).

Your code contains a major weakness (see above); thus surprises
are not unlikely.

You look at the error information provided by Python
(and its library) rather than hiding it.
