My ex g/f has prying eyes, and likes to read my chat logs, So....

hehe, my girlfriend is obsessed, and likes to read all my msn chat logs, and it's hard to find the time to delete them without her watching.. So I thought i would let something else do my dirty work, and stop her watching me, so they all get removed in double click time!!!
Ain't sure if this would help anyone else, I think it's just me with the physco!!!

import os

path = "WHERE YOUR CHAT LOGS ARE STORED END WITH \\"

rem = []

for file in os.listdir(path):

        if file.endswith(".xml"): #My chat logs are xml files, if your's are different  

                                                                          #change the ending ending here

                try:

                        rem = []

                        rem.append(path)

                        rem.append(file)

                        rem = "".join(rem)

                        os.remove(rem)

                except:

                        IOError

hope some one is in need for it as much as me!!! LOL

Why is your ex-gf able to get to your computer to see your chat logs?

Why not just not save the logs?

I'm curious as to your method of string concatenation. What inspired the concatenation via a list?
The best way to concatenate string representations of paths is via os.path.join. The function is kind enough to decide whether or not it needs to add a slash in the joined string, so os.path.join("/home/foo", "file.txt") and os.path.join("/home/foo/", "file.txt") both give you "/home/foo/file.txt".
