try: fp = open( user_preferences ) except( PermissionError ): else: with open(user_preferences ) as f:
I originally only had the bottom open statement. Ran but file didn't exist, and my run failed with file doesn't exist. I figured I'd check to see if the file existed. This is one of those situations where a search of documentation for fd_exist (which I thought I'd seen once), or exist turns up either nothing or nothing relevant. I finally found that the try: clause with the open statement might help and I copied the snippet to my code. I am getting an indentation error: expected an indent block. What is wrong, and what is the best way to find out if a file exists?
