Bad file names, i.e. filenames the OS considers illegal, will cause
functions in the os.path module to raise an error.
Example:
import os.path
print os.path.getsize( 'c:/pytest/*.py' )
The issue, I think, is there's no function that checks
syntax of a path name without checking with the underlying OS
to see if the file exists.
If, say, you're writing a GUI tool for setting up some configuration,
you'd want to do input validation on fields without actually
accessing the files.
