[omaha] with blocks and conditions

[Jeff Hinrichs]

does do_stuff() do anything with the file?  or the file contents?  Seems
like things are switch-a-roo'd.
Maybe do_stuff() does too much?

if condition_is true:
  file = blah
else:
  file = None

do_stuff(file=file, ...)

Even that seems ugly.   Can you flesh out a slightly more detailed
