what are the simple ways?
I could think of os.open(), os.exec(touch file)
are there any simpler methods?

Just use os.path.exists to check for file existence and open() as
replacement for touch.

if not os.path.exists('file'):

As simple as it gets is a single builtin function call:
open("somefile.txt", "a")
Leave out the ,"a" if you don't mind blanking a pre-existing file.

Thanks :-)
That reminds me to check if I could quickly nullify a file if it exists
if os.path.exists('file'):
open('file', 'w').close()
Right?

You only want to blank it if it exists? If it doesn't exist you won't
create it.
The .close() is superlative: since you don't keep the value, it gets
deallocated and closed by the destructor.

The language neither guarantees *when* an object will be deallocated nor
that its destructor is called *at all*. It's cleaner to explicitly close
the file.

After os.path.exists, you need to check it _is_ a
file, and not a directory.
