How to continue the execution even if error happens

Question

I have this code:

from PIL import Image

image1 = Image.open(r'1.jpeg')
im1 = image1.convert('RGB')
im1.save(r'1.pdf')

# Part 2
image1 = Image.open(r'2.jpeg')
im1 = image1.convert('RGB')
im1.save(r'2.pdf')

And I want to make sure that part 2 of the code will run even if the first file doesn't exist, how can I do that?

Answer 1

You could do that like so:

from PIL import Image

try:
    image1 = Image.open(r'1.jpeg')
    im1 = image1.convert('RGB')
    im1.save(r'1.pdf')
except OSError:
    print("first file doesn’t exist!")

image1 = Image.open(r'2.jpeg')
im1 = image1.convert('RGB')
im1.save(r'2.pdf')
