Mutagen Python FileNotFoundError handling

I want to create FileNotFoundError error for the below function where i get genre of a mp3 file using EasyID3 class of mutagen package, But i am still getting FileNotFoundError. i am using Anaconda environment with Python 3.6.5

from mutagen.easyid3 import EasyID3

def getGenre(filename):
try:
audiofile = EasyID3(filename)
#No genre
if not audiofile['genre']:
return None
else:
return audiofile['genre']

except (FileNotFoundError,IOError):
print("Wrong file or file path")


getGenre("xyz.mp3")


Output:

FileNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) ~Anaconda2envstorchenvlibsite-packagesmutagen_util.py in
_openfile(instance, filething, filename, fileobj, writable, create)
234 try:
--> 235 fileobj = open(filename, "rb+" if writable else "rb")
236 except IOError as e:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'xyz.mp3'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

MutagenError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-50-08d31a5afa8e> in <module>()
----> 1 getGenre("xyz.mp3")

<ipython-input-49-c80f3c838450> in getGenre(filename)
2 def getGenre(filename):
3 try:
----> 4 audiofile = EasyID3(filename)
5 #No genre
6 if not audiofile['genre']:

~Anaconda2envstorchenvlibsite-packagesmutageneasyid3.py in
__init__(self, filename)
168 self.__id3 = ID3()
169 if filename is not None:
--> 170 self.load(filename)
171
172 load = property(lambda s: s.__id3.load,

~Anaconda2envstorchenvlibsite-packagesmutagen_util.py in wrapper(*args, **kwargs)
167 def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
168 try:
--> 169 return func(*args, **kwargs)
170 except exc_dest:
171 raise


It looks like mutagen wraps the FileNotFoundError in it's own error: MutagenError (actually, it looks like it mishandles it) -- in any case try adding that to your catch statement (you may need to import that name too).

FileNotFoundError

MutagenError

When i try to add it to the as - except (FileNotFoundError,IOError, MutagenError): print("Wrong file or file path"), it again shows me the error, but this time -NameError: name 'MutagenError' is not defined

except (FileNotFoundError,IOError, MutagenError): print("Wrong file or file path")

NameError: name 'MutagenError' is not defined

That's what I was saying about importing that name, try adding from mutagen import MutagenError at the top with your imports.
