Another error

[pippin418]

I feel like a huge newbie.
I can't figure out what's going wrong here.

	if com == 'remf':
		rem = raw_input("What file: ")
		rea = raw_input("Really remove %s? (y/n): " % rem)
		if rea in ('y'):
			try:
				os.remove(rem)
			except OSError as (errno, strerror):
				if errno == 256:
					print "That is a directory, del deletes files. Use remd."
					pen()
					goto .home
				elif errno == 2:
					print "File does not exist."
					pen()
					goto .home
			else:
				goto .home
		elif rea in ('n'):
			goto .home

In that, see where rea = raw_input("Really remove %s? (y/n): " % rem) is? When I try to stimulate the 256 error, it tells me that the command I tried to input does not exist (an error message I put in my code)

So it processes my "y" as com == "y", I think.
Where is it wrong?

Above shows what happens, at '>>>' if I typed something that is not a command that error would've shown.

I don't know. But trying to remove a directory using part of your code gives me:

errno = 21   # not 256
strerror = "Is a directory"

For development purposes, it might be a good idea to include a catch-all "else" in your except block and print out errno and strerror. This is for finding out the correct error codes for different things:

except OSError as (errno, strerror):
    if errno == 21:
        # What you want to say/do when trying to delete a directory.
        print strerror
    elif errno == 2:
        # What you want to say/do when deleting a non-existent file.
        print strerror
    else:
        # So you can find out what error codes are being returned for
        # for stuff you don't know about yet.
        print errno, strerror

Ah, it was error code 21. It told me 256 when I tested it. Well, nevermind then.
