Oh, yes!
I don't like
try:
fp1 = open("file1")
except IOError:
complain("I can't get at file1")
return
...
try:
fp2 = open("file2")
except IOError:
complain("I can't get at file2")
return
...
nearly as much as
def my_open(fn):
try:
fp = open(fn)
except IOError:
complain("I can't get at %s" % fn)
return None
return fp
fp1 = my_open("file1")
if fp1:
...
fp2 = my_open("file2")
if fp2:
...
While that's not a good model for all possible meanings of "handle
the same way", I hope you find it suggestive.
