[gdal-dev] Making OGR raise exceptions in Python

[Matsamentet]

Hi!

I'm developing a Python script which uses both gdal and ogr. Since
exceptions are not raised by default, I have added to my script

*gdal.UseExceptions() 
ogr.UseExceptions()*

*raster_ds = gdal.Open('c:/nonexistant.tif')* raises an exception as
expected.  
*vector_ds = ogr.Open('c:/nonexistant.shp')* on the other hand, quietly
returns nothing with no exception raised. It also tried other methods of ogr
like GetDriver, 

Is this the intended behaviour, and if so, is there another way to make ogr
raise exceptions?

I'm using GDAL 3.0.2 and Python 3.7.6



Thanks!

Mats Budalen
