Appending Feature Class from Geodatbase to another using ArcPy?

Question

I'm trying to write a python script to load feature class from an existing geodatabase to a new one, here is my script:

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
import os
import traceback

#Set up workspace
outworkspace = r"C:\user\Geodatabases\Gdb_mena_v3.gdb"
workspace = r"C:\user\Geodatabases\gdb_4.3.0_v2.gdb"

arcpy.env.workspace = workspace

#get a list of feature classes
featureclasses = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

for fc in featureclasses:

    shp_file = fc

    if shp_file == "MAP":
    arcpy.Append_management(os.path.join(workspace, shp_file), "C:\\user\\Geodatabases\\Gdb_mena_v3.gdb\\MAP", "NO_TEST", "","")

    print('Your load is done')

    else: print('Error reading data')
print "Finished!"

when I run the script I get this message:

 Error reading data
 Error reading data
 Error reading data
 Error reading data
 Error reading data
 Your load is done
 Error reading data
 Error shape file did not get read
 Finished!

Note that in my first geodatabase I have 7 features classes

As my comment noted, your code logic is correct, just your error messaging may of been misleading "Error reading data". "Error reading data" could be renamed to "other fc found: {}".format(shp_file) or just remove the entire else condition.
