Why is pyautogui saying "ImageNotFoundException" instead of "Nope nothing there"?

Trying to make image recognition program. Code:

from pyautogui import *
import pyautogui
import time
import keyboard
import random
import win32api, win32con

while 1:
    if pyautogui.locateOnScreen('Dassault Falcon 7X.png', confidence=0.8,minSearchTime=5) != None:
        print ("I can see it!")
        time.sleep(0.5)
    else:
        print ("Nope nothing there")

For some reason it keeps giving me imagenotfoundexception in red instead of what I want it to say when it doesn’t find anything, "Nope nothing there."

>Solution :

From the pyautogui docs:

NOTE: As of version 0.9.41, if the locate functions can’t find the provided image, they’ll raise ImageNotFoundException instead of returning None.

Your program assumes pre-0.9.41 behavior. To update it for the most recent version, replace your if-else blocks with try-except:

from pyautogui import locateOnScreen, ImageNotFoundException

while True:
    try:
        pyautogui.locateOnScreen('Dassault Falcon 7X.png')
        print("I can see it!")
        time.sleep(0.5)
    except ImageNotFoundException:
        print("Nope nothing there")
