And AppConfigDir/File is documented as not guaranteeing that the path to
the directory or file exists. This also includes upper parts of the
path's tree.
I admit that I was slightly trolling there, since Giuliano was
complaining about exceptions that he wasn't seeing (because, it turns
out, he wasn't catching them).
However I feel that my point stands: if the program opens, checks and
closes the .ini file before the main logic starts, then it's possible to
keep those initial activities separate from any try-finally required by
the application logic. This initial activity obviously still requires
both a try-finally and a try-except, which is where he was going wrong
with his initial attempt.
