	How did you use it? Code sample? Operating system? I have the following working in Windows 7 just fine (pretend the underscores are indentations, CR4 keeps stripping out my whitespace): if not os.path.exists("errors.txt"): __createdFile = open("errors.txt", "w") __createdFile.write("") __createdFile.close() __print " -created errors.txt" else: __print " -errors.txt already exists"

	if the \ is to be included in the string, use: r'\t.txt' or '\\t.txt' otherwise you will have a tab character in the string.
