Thanks all! I understand better now. I had no idea that EOFError was an
exception. I was looking for a function to tell me when the end of a
sequential file is reached as in all of the 4 programming languages that I
do know this is a requirement.
Will modify my program accordingly.

Using the fileinput module to process lists of files:
for line in fileinput.input(logs):
Unfortunately, EOFError does not seem to indicate the end-of-file condition
correctly when using fileinput.
How would you find the EOF file for all the files in the file list 'logs'?
Thank you,
Alex

Here is an excerpt. It works because the end condition is a fixed number
(ln==10255), the approximate number of data lines in a file. If I replace
that condition by EOFError, the program does not do the intended work. It
appears as if EOFError is always true in this case.
