That's a fair consideration, although the other way to handle that is to allow other operations to fail later (if someone creates a file called "logs" and then you try to create "logs/2023-04-30.txt", you get an error at that point). I have also known situations where this is a deliberate way to suppress something (like a cache or log directory). ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
