As long as we're having fun ;)

     trap_os = suppress(OSError)
     dead_files = ('missing.txt', 'other_missing.txt', 'actually_here.txt')

     for file in dead_files:
         with trap_os:
             os.unlink(missing.txt)

     for exc in trap_os.suppressed_exceptions:
         do_something(exc)
