Steve, before I dig into your detailed reply, please tell me what you meant by " # File *probably* doesn't exist. Consider better error checking.". Context was def load(path): """Open file given by path if it exists, and return its contents. If it doesn't exist, save and return the default contents. """ try: f = open(path, 'r') except IOError: # File *probably* doesn't exist. Consider better error checking. data = [] save(path, data) else: data = pickle.load(f) f.close() return data Dick _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
