Hi,
I usually use perl but fancy a bit of a change so have started playing

The $! is a perl variable that holds an error should the open fail,
example being : No such file or directory.

The $! is a perl variable that holds an error should the open fail,
example being : No such file or directory.
With python I have use a try except block but I have no idea how I would
get the same warning from python as I would from perl (the reason
