You could go all out and use the PyFilesystem module:
http://packages.python.org/fs/
This provides a unified API not only for accessing files on your local
disk in a platform-agnostic manner, but also for accessing files in a
zip archive, on a remote server, in memory, and from a variety of other
sources.
Even if you only ever intend to access local files, I find the API
provided by PyFilesystem much nicer than using the various modules from
the stdlib.
Cheers,
Ryan
