Subject: by-passing exception [Q]

Hi All Python Gurus ...
Perhaps this is a stupid question, but it's saturday and it's almost 2AM,
so you may understand my state-of-mind :-)
I have a script that has to check a directory for the existence of a file,
so I do a os.stat(path-to-file) ... But I want to continue processing even
if this file doesn't exist, so I tryed this:
try:
os.stat(path-to-file)
except IOError, msg:
blah blah ....
But I get an exception ... and it doesn't go into the except statement...
Should I be doing a os.listdir(path-to-dir-where-file-resides) and checking
there?
I am a little bit confused ... Perhaps it's time to go to bed or to stop
drinking beer while working ... :-)
TIA
