In all seriousness, though, if you're worried about the number of
lines, it's not that big a deal to squish up the small try blocks.
try: name = input("Enter file name, or Ctrl-D to exit")
except EOFError: sys.exit()
try: fp = open(name)
except IOError: handle_bad_file(name)
else: handle_good_file(fp)
Might violate some style guides, but IMO it's not a problem.
