Oh, keep going, Mark. It gets better.
def readstrfile(file):
try:
data=open(file,"r").read()
except:
return 0
return data
def start():
psource=readstrfile(infile)
if psource==0:
print ("Can't open file",infile)
exit(0)
So, if any exception happens during the reading of the file, it gets
squashed, and 0 is returned - which results in a generic message being
printed, and the program terminating, with return value 0. Awesome!
