Not that I can think of.

[ example of "interrupting" a file-reading function in order to ask the
user if they really want to read a locked file ]

I would rewrite that this way (untested, and without error checking):

def open_file(file_name, read_if_locked=False):
f = file(file_name)
[read first line]
if first_line == "FILE LOCKED" and read_if_locked == FALSE:
return False
[read the rest]
return True

def open_command():
if open_file("foo.bar") == False:
[ask the user what to do]
if ans == tkMessageBox.YES:
open_file("foo.bar", True )
