Option to not raise if file does not exists for os.remove()?
What about a parameter, false by default, that suppresses the FileNotFoundError exception if true for os.remove()? Something similar to exist_ok for os.makedirs().

You have two options (and it's too much in my opinion):
try: os.remove(filename) except FileNotFoundError: pass
with contextlib.suppress(FileNotFoundError): os.remove(filename)
Hi Sergio,
The pathlib module includes this feature: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.unlink
Best,

I add that it's quite common to skip FileNotFoundError in removing a file. I think it's the same because exist_ok was added to os.makedirs().
Can I try: a PR?
