It's not in direct answer to your question, but a real short answer is
"Python doesn't need 'or die' here." It throws exceptions gleefully
whenever it encounters an error:
>>> f = open('no_such_file')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in ?
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or d

Hi,
I usually use perl but fancy a bit of a change so have started playing
with python.
using perl to open a file or directory I usually use:
open(FILE, $file) or die "Error: $!\n";
The $! is a perl variable that holds an error should the open fail,
example being : "No such file or directory".
