Description

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Considering the following example

ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
ctx.load_cert_chain(maybe_no_exists, maybe_not_exists_also)

# -> FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

The current implementation returns a simple No such file or directory exception without information about the file itself

Since FileNotFoundError have a filename attribute that is correctly reported in its representation, it would be appreciable to have the filename attached to the exception being raised

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
