Step-by-Step Guide to Reading Different Files in Python

Image
 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. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data. Python has a built-in csv module and a powerful pandas library. Using cs...

All About Init and Delete Constructors Python

Python class has two constructors. One is the init, and the other one is del. Why do you need these two and their real purpose explained? The initialization method is called __init__ while the finalization or destructor method is called __del__. Python methods with a double underscore character are for internal (not intended for direct access by the outside world) use. There are no true private methods in Python classes, but convention says that a method that begins with a single underscore is considered private, and a double underscore indicates it is internal (only to be used by the system.) Python Constructors  Init Constructor object.__init__(self[, ...]) Called after the instance has been created (by  __new__() ), but before it is returned to the caller. The arguments are those passed to the class constructor expression.  If a base class has an  __init__()  method, the derived class’s  __init__()  method, if any, must explicitly call it to en...
