I have a function to fetch a message from a file:

         return open(expanduser(message_filename),

What is more the Python way: let the exception fire like this code
when index is to big, or catching it and returning None?

I suppose working zero based is OK.


Fire an exception.

One advantage is that the exception will pinpoint exactly which line of the function had a problem.
