Sure, it does, David. Thank you.
I was thinking of using main.file_append(), but your suggestion is

Madan, here's how to create an empty file using Python:
  open("file.txt","w").close()

Hope this helps!

I think you need to read the Python docs more closely.

For one thing, mknod is again unix-specific. For another, it requires 
Python 2.3.

The equivalent Python I usually use is to open a file for write, then
close it (or let Python close it for you).
