Sigh. You're being tiring, Fredrik: '''I'm looking for an easy way to perform a UNIX-style "touch", to update the modification time of a file without actually modifying it.''' And if your point is that I spelled UNIX in mixed case, and change the double quotation marks to single quotation marks, you really need to take a break. If your point is that this statement *clearly and unambiguously* rejects the create-if-missing feature as undesirable, then I can say only that you are simply wrong. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
