Why does python expects a statement when I use "except FileNotFoundError" function? Isn't the "FileNotFoundError" already a statement?

Question

I'm making an app that locks your apps. The only way you can open them is if you plug in a flash drive that has the correct id. But, python expects a statement when I write, "except File Not Found Error"? Here's the code, I'm using hyperlink because stack overflow keeps giving me an error when I post the code here

#!/usr/bin/python
import time
import subprocess
import random

# Variables
authorization = False

# Opening save file
with open("save.txt", "r") as fa:
    current_id = fa.read()

# Open a file
path = r"G:\Authorization\5.txt"

# Checking if it has the correct ID
with open(path, 'r') as f:
    file_contents = f.read()
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("ACCESS DENIED")
    if file_contents == str(current_id):
        authorization = True

Answer 1

# Checking if it has the correct ID
try:
    with open(path, 'r') as f:
        file_contents = f.read()
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("ACCESS DENIED")
    if file_contents == str(current_id):
        authorization = True

Except only work with a "try" statement aswell. This shouldn't give you a missing statement. Try/except documentation
