Just calling 'file' the most obvious exceptions it can raise are:
IOError
MemoryError
ValueError
I'm not sure if it can return UnicodeDecodeError, it looks as though it may
be possible on windows, but I couldn't trigger it.
Assigning the result to a variable can of course raise absolutely any
exception. That's the main problem: just because a C function raises only a
few different exceptions doesn't mean that the line of code calling it
cannot generate a host more.
