The behavior is caused by this: https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/blob/master/mayan/settings/__init__.py
It is meant to allow Mayan to continue executing even if there is no local.py (such as when running the createsettings or initialsetup commands). Raising an error would not allow the normal flow to happen. Python groups all import exception under ImportException regardless of what cause a module to import. The best I've come up with is to examine the text of the exception to try to find out why it was raised (example: https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms-docker/blob/master/etc/mayan/settings/__init__.py#L49). This is a crude solution, but Python doesn't offer anything else that I know of. Best compromise would be to display a warning and keep the execution going. Thoughts?
