Let’s say you’re opening the file with a with
statement like you should be. Then you’d do something like this to read from your file:
with open('somefile.txt', 'w+') as f: # Note that f has now been truncated to 0 bytes, so you'll only # be able to read data that you write after this point f.write('somedata\n') f.seek(0) # Important: return to the top of the file before reading, otherwise you'll just read an empty string data = f.read() # Returns 'somedata\n'
Note the f.seek(0)
— if you forget this, the f.read()
call will try to read from the end of the file, and will return an empty string.
