infile = sys.argv[1]

IndexError: list index out of range
is there a way that i could suppress this and add my own error code

Hi Bryan,
You are probably better off pursuing Danny's suggestion. But, this is what you asked for:

IDLE 1.1.4
class CustomError(Exception):
pass


Or, combining the suggestions you get:

import sys
try:
   infile = sys.argv[1]
except IndexError:
   # handle the error by assigning a default value
   # just as you would do if checking len()

Lots of options :-)
