what are the simple ways?
I could think of os.open(), os.exec(touch file)
are there any simpler methods?
Just use os.path.exists to check for file existence and open() as
replacement for touch.

import os
if not os.path.exists('file'):
...     open('file', 'w').close()
...

As simple as it gets is a single builtin function call:

open("somefile.txt", "a")

Leave out the ,"a" if you don't mind blanking a pre-existing file.
Thanks :-)

That reminds me to check if I could quickly nullify a file if it exists

if os.path.exists('file'):
        open('file', 'w').close()

Right?
