def touch(fname):
    if os.path.exists(fname):
        os.utime(fname, None)
    else:
        open(fname, 'a').close()

with open(file_name,'a') as f: 
    pass

下面是一些使用ctypes的代码(仅在Linux上测试):

from ctypes import *
libc = CDLL("libc.so.6")

#  struct timespec {
#             time_t tv_sec;        /* seconds */
#             long   tv_nsec;       /* nanoseconds */
#         };
# int futimens(int fd, const struct timespec times[2]);

class c_timespec(Structure):
    _fields_ = [('tv_sec', c_long), ('tv_nsec', c_long)]

class c_utimbuf(Structure):
    _fields_ = [('atime', c_timespec), ('mtime', c_timespec)]

utimens = CFUNCTYPE(c_int, c_char_p, POINTER(c_utimbuf))
futimens = CFUNCTYPE(c_int, c_char_p, POINTER(c_utimbuf)) 

# from /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/bits/stat.h
UTIME_NOW  = ((1l << 30) - 1l)
UTIME_OMIT = ((1l << 30) - 2l)
now  = c_timespec(0,UTIME_NOW)
omit = c_timespec(0,UTIME_OMIT)

# wrappers
def update_atime(fileno):
        assert(isinstance(fileno, int))
        libc.futimens(fileno, byref(c_utimbuf(now, omit)))
def update_mtime(fileno):
        assert(isinstance(fileno, int))
        libc.futimens(fileno, byref(c_utimbuf(omit, now)))

# usage example:
#
# f = open("/tmp/test")
# update_mtime(f.fileno())

def touch(fname):
    if os.path.exists(fname):
        os.utime(fname, None)
    else:
        open(fname, 'a').close()

对于更低级的解决方案，可以使用

os.close(os.open("file.txt", os.O_CREAT))

你为什么不试试: newfile.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
inputfile = sys.argv[1]

with open(inputfile, 'r+') as file:
    pass

Python newfile.py foobar.txt

or

使用子流程:

import subprocess
subprocess.call(["touch", "barfoo.txt"])
