Q1. Import Blocklist to Python Programme
A very popular website, www.verypopular.com.sg, keeps its blocklist in a text file,
blocklist.txt. In this file, each username occupies a single line. Below is an example of a
blocklist.txt, which you can download from the course website.

Write a Python programme that imports and prints on the screen the usernames from
blocklist.txt. Include an exception handler to catch FileNotFoundError and ensure that
usernames are unique.
