How create (not create and write) a file in python?

Question

In my version of python, mustn't to create a file using "open(test.xml, "w")", there will be an exception. If the file was created in advance, then there will be no exception.

Answer 1

If your operating system is POSIX-compliant then you can issue a shell command to create it by using "touch":
import os
os.system("touch test.xml")
If the file does not exist, then it will create the file. Else it will update the access and modification date and time stamps of the existing file. See the man page for options to change its behavior.
