I agree that it makes sense to show a more detailed error message, but letting exceptions hang out with raise is not an acceptable way to show errors to the user IMO. Also, now you're catching the exceptions just to raise them again 🐰

So it seems to me that you want a --verbose option for the script, and the default is to swallow detailed error messages or detailed log messages.
