Hi! I have a problem. I just started python. when I use (open) function, is the file supposed to open? Because it doesn't.
How do you know? Are you also new to programming? Or do you know another programming language? Assuming that you are new to programming.... Are you expecting a window to appear with the file displayed? If so you will be disappointed, open() simply makes the file available to your program to manipulate. Any display of the file is down to you as the programmer. See the Handling Files topic of my tutorial for more information. OTOH If you realized that but genuinely believe that open() is not returning an open file object then you will need to give us some more context - ideally some sample code and any error messages. Please tell us which OS you are using too.
