You're right. For production, I'd probably do this.
def create_user_dirs(lines):
for line in lines:
pass # process lines here
with open("/etc/passwd") as fp:
create_user_dirs(fp)
This has the benefit of allowing me to test create_user_dirs without
touching the file system (by passing in a list of lines).
