Hi Team,

Iam on python 2.6 , need input on the below piece of code.


EXIT_STATUS_ERROR=1

def create_dataset():
    """
     """
    logging.info("Dataset create.....Started !!!")
    try:
        if os.path.ismount("/nfs_mount"):
            touch_file("inode_fixcrc.txt")
            logging.info("Dataset create.....Done !!!")
        else:
            raise Exception("/nfs_mount is not mounted. Dataset create
failed !!!")
            return False
    except Exception as e:
            logging.error(e)
            sys.stderr.write("Dataset create failed...Exiting !!!")
            sys.exit(EXIT_STATUS_ERROR)
    return True

1. Can we have if else with in a try except block
2. How can the above code be improved

Regards,
Ganesh
