Ummm. These are not the same files (unless you've got some bizarre NTFS linking going on).
exists returns false but when i open it doesnt complain. how come?
Also, in general, you're prone to race conditions if you do this kind of thing, altho' on a local C: drive that's less likely. But still possible. Probably better to wrap the open in a try-except and handle an IOError. TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
