[Tutor] if file == exists, then dont copy it

[Tor Stormwall]

Hi!

I'm trying to write a section in a piece of code that
if a file exists with a given name it will copy the file
to that name. For example, file1 to my_new_file

I've got the name config_file_named defined as TEST3, like this:
config_file_name = "TEST3"

I've imported exists from os.path.
The code should  act something like:
if file: then do not copy, else copy the file.


The code looks like this:
    from os.path import exists
    verbose=1 # is it here?
    force=0   # are whe gonna force? noo
    if exists(config_file_name) and not force:
        if verbose: print file, ' is already created'
        else:
            print "copying file"
            os.system('cp MYFILE ' + config_file_name)



The program seem to skip everything after force=0 and
then exit.
