os.path.join joins path elements, so that's entirely expected. try filename = dirpath + "-dummy" if not os.path.isfile(filename): open(filename, "w").close() instead. or if you want to "touch" the file even if it already exists, just do open(dirpath + "-dummy", "w").close() (to only touch a file if it exists, you can use os.utime(filename, None) instead) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
