error handling - ANSWERSIf an error occurs while opening or operating on a file, an IOError will be
raised. Therefore, we can apply the try and except pattern on the open function as well:
>>> try:
>>> for line in open('fake_file_that_does_not_exist'):
>>> print line.strip()
>>> except IOError as e:
>>> print 'Unable to open file:', e
Unable to open file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'fake_file_that_does_not_exist'
with statement - ANSWERSSince it can be cumbersome to have to open and close a file manually, you
can use Python's with statement:
>>> with open('data.txt', 'w') as fh:
fh.write('hello, data file!\n')
>>> open('data.txt').read()
'hello, data file!\n'
Using the with statement, the file is opened and bound to the fh variable and we can use it inside the
body of the with statement. Once we leave the with block, the file will automatically be closed for us.
