New submission from Isaac Boates <[email protected]>:
I was just using the sqlite3 package and was very confused when trying to open
an sqlite database from a relative path, because the only error provided was:
File "/path/to/filepy", line 50, in __init__
self.connection = sqlite3.connect(path)
sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file
It turns out I was just executing Python from the wrong location and therefore
my relative path was broken. Not a big problem. But it was confusing because it
only throws this generic OperationalError.
Could it instead throw a FileNotFoundError if the db simply doesn't exist at
the specified path?
