Actually, I believe we do: open('format', 'wb').close() try: os.lstat('FoRmAt') except IOError, e: if e.errno == errno.ENOENT: ... I don't know that it really matters, just wanted to indicate we use 'lstat' rather than 'open()' to check. I could be wrong about the test suite, but I know that is what we do for 'live' files. (We always create a format file, so we know it is there to 'stat' it via a different name.)Thanks for the help to everyone. I ended up simply taking __file__, making it all uppercase (or lowercase if it is already uppercase) and then doing os.path.exists() on the modified name. Seems to work.
Alternatively, use swapcase() and then os.path.exists(). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
