Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ritesh Raj Sarraf (riteshsarraf) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: zipfile "append" mode should create a file if not present Initial Comment: The line filename = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_file_name, "a") throws an exception if the given filename is not present already. Shouldn't it create a file (in case one is not there) since it is "append" mode ?? It's throwing an OSError Exception stating "No such file/directory". Normal convention has been that when opening a file in append mode, if the file is not present a new file is created. Why is this non-standard? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1514451&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
