global name 'ParseError' is not defined, I used try and except to avoid it but this still shows up

Question

it's occurring from the line with except ParseError which I don't understand, because I wrote this line to avoid this error. Here's my code

import json
from goose import Goose

DEFAULT = 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1427435150519-42d9bcd0aa81?ixlib=rb-0.3.5&q=80&fm=jpg&crop=entropy&w=1080&fit=max&s=10d1cfc208c8ed5ed1160e851eabce1d'
def extract(url):
    g = Goose()
    try:
        article = g.extract(url=url)
        if article.top_image is None:
            return DEFAULT 

        else:
            if article.top_image.src is None:
              return DEFAULT
            else:
                resposne = {'image':article.top_image.src}
                return article.top_image.src
    except ParseError:
        if can_handle():
                handle_exception()
            else:
                print("couldn't handle exception: url={0}".format(url))
                raise

I mainly just want to avoid this error, if I get this error I want just default image to show up. What am I missing here?

Here;s my traceback

I got this same error when pandas to load files from a list of files. Following @Sayse's comment, after running the code, I found lib/site-packages/pandas/io/parsers.py in the stack trace.

To correct the problem, you must import that error from the file in which it is define. In my case, I used

import pandas as pd
#~~~~~~~~~~ Solution: import the error ~~~~~~~~~~
from pandas.io.parsers import ParserError
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...
for fname in fnames:
    try:
        df = pd.read_csv(fname)
    except ParserError:
        logger.info(f'Skipping incompatible file: {fname}')
