Python File Handling
File handling is an important aspect of programming for reading and writing files on the disk. In Python, you can use the built-in functions and methods to handle files. In this lesson, we will cover the basics of file handling in Python.
Opening and Reading Files
You can open a file using the open()
function and read its contents using the read()
method. For example, to read the contents of a file:
with open('example.txt', 'r') as file:
content = file.read()
print(content)
Writing to Files

method. For example, to write a string to a file:
with open('output.txt', 'w') as file:
file.write('Hello, world!')
Example: Uploading a File
File Content:
Conclusion
File handling is a fundamental aspect of programming, and Python provides simple and powerful tools for reading and writing files. By understanding how to open, read, and write files in Python, you can work with files in your programs effectively.
