Objet : is file open?


I have a script that processes a file generated by another program. I
need an unumbiguous way to know that the file has been written and
closed by the other program, at least on Windoze. I am thinking of doing

def CanOpen(fname):
try:
f = open(fname, 'a')
f.close()
return True
except IOError:
return False

should this work OK?

thanks,
max
