I want to read a .csv file in python.
I don't know if the file exists.
My current solution is below. It feels sloppy to me because the two separate exception tests are awkwardly juxtaposed.
Is there prettier way to do it?
import csv
fName = "aFile.csv"
try:
with open(fName, 'rb') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
for row in reader:
pass #do stuff here
except IOError:
print "Could not read file:", fName
解决方案
I guess I misunderstood what was being asked. Re-re-reading, it looks like Tim's answer is what you want. Let me just add this, however: if you want to catch an exception from open, then open has to be wrapped in a try. If the call to open is in the header of a with, then the with has to be in a try to catch the exception. There's no way around that.
So the answer is either: "Tim's way" or "No, you're doing it correctly.".
Previous unhelpful answer to which all the comments refer:
import os
if os.path.exists(fName):
with open(fName, 'rb') as f:
try:
# do stuff
except : # whatever reader errors you care about
# handle error
