You could go all out and use the PyFilesystem module: http://packages.python.org/fs/ This provides a unified API not only for accessing files on your local disk in a platform-agnostic manner, but also for accessing files in a zip archive, on a remote server, in memory, and from a variety of other sources. Even if you only ever intend to access local files, I find the API provided by PyFilesystem much nicer than using the various modules from the stdlib.
