Lie and Tim's input are true that raw_input doesnt do anything or you cant catch exception error from it. And i'm wrong in placing the try-except clause, it should be on the fobj-open line. But im still looking for the exception that will be raised when i input a filename and that file already exists. I hope you get what i mean :-)
There isn't one. The string you input which is a filename is just a string. There's no reason for Python to check whether it is a valid filename, any more than to check it is a valid integer or a valid recipe on goodrecipes.com. You have to decide what you want to do with the string. Then you do that (try to open it as a file; try to convert it to a number; try to use it as a URL to goodrecipes.com) and deal with exceptions appropriately.
