python open file

with open('filename', 'a') as f: # able to append data to file
	f.write(var1) # Were var1 is some variable you have set previously
	f.write('data') 
	f.close() # You can add this but it is not mandatory 

with open('filename', 'r') as f: # able to read data from file ( also is the default mode when opening a file in python)

with open('filename', 'x') as f: # Creates new file, if it already exists it will cause it to fail

with open('filename', 't') as f: # opens the file in text mode (also is defualt)

with open('filename', 'b') as f: # Use if your file will contain binary data
  
with open('filename', 'w') as f: # Open file with ability to write, will also create the file if it does not exist (if it exists will cause it to fail)
  
with open('filename', '+') as f: # Opens file with reading and writing

# You can combine these as you like with the + for reading and writing

read file python

document = 'document.txt'
file = open(document, 'r')
# 'r' to read.  it can be replaced with:
# 'w' to write (overwrite)
# 'a' to append (add to the end)
# 'w+' makes a new file if one does not already exist of that name
# 'a+' same as 'w+' but appends if the file does exist
# 'x' creates file for writing, but fails if file already exists

##go to beginning of document. not required but good for consistency.
file.seek(0)

##print all lines in document, except empty lines:
for line in file:
    k = line.strip() 
    print k

##close the file after you are done
file.close()


##this also works to open a file, and is more error proof:
with open(document) as filestream:
    for i in filestream:
        k = i.strip() 
        print k
