Introduction to file handling

• Python supports file handling and allows users to


handle files

• File handling in Python involves interacting with files on your


computer to read data from them or write data to them.

• Python provides several built-in functions and methods for


creating, opening, reading, writing, and closing files.

3
File handling operations

• Python provides a variety of file handling operations that


allow you to manage files effectively. Such as

• Opening a file

• Reading to a file

• Writing to a file

• Appending a file

• Closing a file

4
Opening a file

• To perform any file operation, the first step is to open the file.

• Python's built-in open() function is used to open files in


various modes, such as reading, writing, and appending.

• The syntax for opening a file in Python is –

• file = open(filename, mode)

5
Various modes of opening a file
• There are various file opening modes in python. such as

• ‘r’- open for reading

• ‘w’ – open for writing

• ‘a’ – open for writing , appending to the end of the file


Apart from these modes we also need to specify how the file must be handled :

• text (t): Used to handle text files.

• binary (b): used to handle binary files (images).

Types of file in python

There are various types of files in python such as -

• Text files- it is understood as a sequence of characters


consist of alphabets, numbers, and other special symbols.
Files with extensions like .txt, .py, .csv etc are some examples
of text files .

• Binary files – it is stored in a computer in computer in a


sequence of bytes such as image , audio , video etc .

Advantages

• verstality: File handling in Python allows you to perform a wide range


operations

• Flexibility : File handling in Python is highly flexible, as it allows you to work


with different file types (e.g. text files, binary files , csv files etc.)

• User – friendly : Python provides a user-friendly interface for file handling,


making it easy to create, read, and manipulate files.

• Cross-platform : Python file-handling functions work across different platforms .

9
Disadvantages

• Error-prone: File handling operations in Python can be prone to errors,


especially if the code is not carefully written or if there are issues with the file
system .

• Security risks : File handling in Python can also pose security risks,
especially if the program accepts user input that can be used to access or
modify sensitive files on the system.

• Complexity : File handling in Python can be complex, especially when


working with more advanced file formats or operations.

• Performance : File handling operations in Python can be slower than other


programming languages.
