Module to open files and calculate something

Of course in the previous example, it would be probably much easier if we just checked if the number was 0, before trying to divide with it. There are many other cases when this is not possible. For example it is impossible to check if open a file will succeed, without actually trying to open the file.

In this example we open the file, read the first line which is a number and use that for division.

When the open() fails, Python throws an FileNotFoundError exception.

def read_and_divide(filename):
    print("before " + filename)
    with open(filename, 'r') as fh:
        number = int(fh.readline())
        print(100 / number)
    print("after  " + filename)
