# Triggering and catching PermissionError
try:
    raise PermissionError("access denied")
except PermissionError as e:
    print(f"Caught PermissionError: {e}")
    print(f"Type: {type(e).__name__}")

PermissionError is raised when raised when an operation lacks sufficient access rights. Always catch specific exceptions rather than bare except clauses.
