# Simplify Single Exception Tuple

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `simplify-single-exception-tuple`

#### Description

Replace length-one exception tuple with exception.

#### Before

```python
try:
    read_file()
except (FileNotFoundError,) as e:
    log_error(e)
    create_file()
```

#### After

```python
try:
    read_file()
except FileNotFoundError as e:
    log_error(e)
    create_file()
```

#### Explanation

Python supports catching multiple exception types at once by using tuples.
However, when only a single exception type is being handled, there is no need to
wrap it in a tuple.

Using the exception type itself makes your code easier to read, and your intent
clearer.
