Better way to write nested exceptions in Python

    try:
        return load(file)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        try:
            return load(otherfile)
        except FileNotFoundError:
            return None

How to write it more clean ? I feel there must be a better way to acomplish this (I assume there will be third file to load when other two will fail)

You can put it into the loop if you will have many files:

file_list = [file, otherfile]
for f in file_list:
    try:
        return load(f)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        continue
return None
