[Tutor] Technical aspect of os.path.isfile()

I suppose this is really more of a technical aspect, dealing with the possibility of a race condition (although in my personal case, the probability is infinitely small). I'm writing a program that uses the ConfigParser module to open a config file, and if that file isn't present, I'd like to crea
