Chp7: extra else statement?

[xyang2013]

import json
import os
import urllib


def download_and_load_file(file_path, url):

    if not os.path.exists(file_path):
        with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as response:
            text_data = response.read().decode("utf-8")
        with open(file_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as file:
            file.write(text_data)
    else:
        with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
            text_data = file.read()

    with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
        data = json.load(file)

    return data


file_path = "instruction-data.json"
url = (
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch"
    "/main/ch07/01_main-chapter-code/instruction-data.json"
)

data = download_and_load_file(file_path, url)
print("Number of entries:", len(data))

I think the else statement is not required:

    else:
        with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
            text_data = file.read()

Good catch, you are absolutely right. It's redundant here. I am removing it via #504
