 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done.

Python Command Line Options List

Option -bb issues errors instead. -B Do not write .pyc or .pyo byte-code files on imports. -d Turn on parser debugging output (for developers of the Python core). -E Ignore Python environment variables described ahead (such as PYTHONPATH). -h Print help message and exit. -i Enter interactive mode after executing a script. Hint: useful for postmortem debugging; see also pdb.pm(), described in Python’s library manuals. -O Optimize generated byte code (create and use .pyo byte-code files). Currently yields a minor performance improvement. -OO Operates like -O, the previous option, but also removes docstrings from byte code. -q Do not print version and copyright message on interactive startup (as of Python 3.2). -s Do not add the user site directory to the sys.path module search path. -S Do not imply “impor...
