Implement touch using Python?

by

Looks like this is new as of Python 3.4 – pathlib.

from pathlib import Path

Path('path/to/file.txt').touch()

This will create a file.txt at the path.

—

Path.touch(mode=0o777, exist_ok=True)

Create a file at this given path. If mode is given, it is combined with the process’ umask value to determine the file mode and access flags. If the file already exists, the function succeeds if exist_ok is true (and its modification time is updated to the current time), otherwise FileExistsError is raised.
