It's bad practice. Because you use a bare except clause, and don't do anything useful with the exceptions you catch. > Or do you do a try/except for each open? If what you want is to make sure that resources will be released, you can use a try/finally block or (Python 2.5) a with block. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
