You have no choice. If close is going to fail, it will fail.
Fortunately you can catch the exception and continue on.
<code>
try:
try:
file1.write(somestuff)
finally:
file1.close()
except IOError:
pass
</code>
or you could wrap it in the inner scope:
<code>
try:
file1.write(somestuff)
finally:
try:
file1.close()
except IOError:
pass
</code>
This doesn't prevent the exception from happening, but it prevents the
user for seeing it. Also, you don't need to use semicolons in python.
