Create a file if it doesn't exist

Question

I\'m trying to open a file, and if the file doesn\'t exist, I need to create it and open it for writing. I have this so far:

#open file for reading
fn = input(\"         


        

Answer 1

Here's a quick two-liner that I use to quickly create a file if it doesn't exists.

if not os.path.exists(filename):
    open(filename, 'w').close()
