Challenge: Handling Data Processing Robustly
Handling Multiple Exceptions in File Processing
When you process files in Python, you must prepare for unexpected situations, such as missing files or unreadable content. Using multiple exception handling allows you to manage these scenarios gracefully and keep your application reliable.
Why Handle Multiple Exceptions?
- Files may not exist at the specified location, causing a
FileNotFoundError; - Files may contain characters that cannot be decoded, leading to a
UnicodeDecodeError; - Handling each error separately helps you provide clear, specific feedback and prevents your program from crashing.
By catching these exceptions individually, you can inform users exactly what went wrong and ensure your application continues to run smoothly. This approach is essential for robust, user-friendly Python programs that work reliably in real-world situations.
Swipe to start coding
Create a function called read_file_contents that takes a single argument, filename.
- Attempt to open the file and read its contents.
- If the file does not exist, catch the
FileNotFoundErrorand print:Error: The file was not found.
- If there is a
UnicodeDecodeError, print:Error: Could not decode the file contents.
- If the file is read successfully, print its contents.
You do not need to return anything from the function. Use the built-in open() function and the default encoding.

Can you show me an example of handling multiple exceptions in Python file processing?
What other common exceptions should I be aware of when working with files?
How can I provide user-friendly error messages for these exceptions?
Awesome!
