Function, Files I/O,
Exception Handling
Function

A function is a block of organized, reusable code that is

used to perform a single, related action.

def functionname( parameters ):

"function_docstring"
function_suite
return [expression]
Files I/O

User Input
Raw_input
Input

Opening and Closing files

Writing into a file
Reading from a file
Creating Directory
Removing Directory
Exception Handling

Try try:
You do your operations here;
Except except ExceptionI:
If there is ExceptionI, then execute this block.
Else except ExceptionII:
If there is ExceptionII, then execute this block.
Finally except:
If there is any exception, then execute this block
else:
If there is no exception then execute this block.
finally:
This would always be executed.
