Your other respondents have already said this, but I am going to emphasise it.
The above lines are bad. They do not help you, they only hinder you by
replacing useful information with dumb print statements that tell you
nothing useful. So delete them all!
'except' blocks should only be used when you know why the error
occurred, and they should contain useful extra code to either to
recover from the error or to work around it.
Those dumb print statements are not useful extra code. So delete them.
