hey ben, i can't say i quite understand you question. you've
really lost me with the returning a tuple? anyways, from what
i know, to touch a file means to update a files timestamp if
it exists, or just create a 0-byte file if it doesn't exist.

def touch(filename):
    open(filename, 'a')

that should be all you need. if you are asking for something
esle, i'm afraid i don't quite understand that that is.
