# Triggering and catching ProcessLookupError

except ProcessLookupError as e:
    print(f"Caught ProcessLookupError: {e}")
    print(f"Type: {type(e).__name__}")

ProcessLookupError is raised when raised when a process specified by pid doesn't exist. Always catch specific exceptions rather than bare except clauses.
