Now, does shutil pass on FileNotFoundError? I will let you experiment.
There are error conditions that are hard to generate, but a bad file name is
not one of them.
That's actually a perfectly valid file name, but one that doesn't
happen to have a corresponding file. However, the same technique will
work with the OP's description of "a filename which the FAT32 didn't
like" too.
Yeah, that gives a different error and message.
>>> open('a~`!@#$%^&*()_-+={[}]|\<,>.?/')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
