What is the best way in python to handle reading a file that may potentially not exist? Currently I have the following: try: with open(filename, "r") as f: return f.read() except IOError: return False Is this the best way to do it or is this wrong on any level at all? I guess my biggest concerns are: Catching the exception only to return false Maybe i am missing a 'Python' way of silently missing the error for a missing file
