Introduction to Handling Exceptions in File I/O

When working with files, errors such as missing files, permission issues, or malformed data can occur. Python provides mechanisms to handle these errors gracefully using exception handling.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to handle file-related exceptions to make your programs more robust.

Common File I/O Errors

Here are some common errors that occur during file operations:

• FileNotFoundError: The file does not exist.
• PermissionError: You don’t have permission to access the file.
• IsADirectoryError: The path is a directory, not a file.
