  2 Help on built-in function open in module io:
  3 
  4 open(file, mode='r', buffering=-1, encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None, closefd=True, opener=None)
  5     Open file and return a stream.  Raise IOError upon failure.
  6     
  7     file is either a text or byte string giving the name (and the path
  8     if the file isn't in the current working directory) of the file to
  9     be opened or an integer file descriptor of the file to be
 10     wrapped. (If a file descriptor is given, it is closed when the
 11     returned I/O object is closed, unless closefd is set to False.)
 12     
 13     mode is an optional string that specifies the mode in which the file
 14     is opened. It defaults to 'r' which means open for reading in text
 15     mode.  Other common values are 'w' for writing (truncating the file if
 16     it already exists), 'x' for creating and writing to a new file, and
 17     'a' for appending (which on some Unix systems, means that all writes
 18     append to the end of the file regardless of the current seek position).
 19     In text mode, if encoding is not specified the encoding used is platform
 20     dependent: locale.getpreferredencoding(False) is called to get the
 21     current locale encoding. (For reading and writing raw bytes use binary
 22     mode and leave encoding unspecified.) The available modes are:
 23     
 24     ========= ===============================================================
 25     Character Meaning
 26     --------- ---------------------------------------------------------------
 27     'r'       open for reading (default)
 28     'w'       open for writing, truncating the file first
 29     'x'       create a new file and open it for writing
 30     'a'       open for writing, appending to the end of the file if it exists
 31     'b'       binary mode
 32     't'       text mode (default)
 33     '+'       open a disk file for updating (reading and writing)
 34     'U'       universal newline mode (deprecated)
 35     ========= ===============================================================
 36     
 37     The default mode is 'rt' (open for reading text). For binary random
 38     access, the mode 'w+b' opens and truncates the file to 0 bytes, while
 39     'r+b' opens the file without truncation. The 'x' mode implies 'w' and
 40     raises an `FileExistsError` if the file already exists.
 41     
 42     Python distinguishes between files opened in binary and text modes,
 43     even when the underlying operating system doesn't. Files opened in
 44     binary mode (appending 'b' to the mode argument) return contents as
 45     bytes objects without any decoding. In text mode (the default, or when
 46     't' is appended to the mode argument), the contents of the file are
 47     returned as strings, the bytes having been first decoded using a
 48     platform-dependent encoding or using the specified encoding if given.
 49     
 50     'U' mode is deprecated and will raise an exception in future versions
 51     of Python.  It has no effect in Python 3.  Use newline to control
 52     universal newlines mode.
 53     
 54     buffering is an optional integer used to set the buffering policy.
 55     Pass 0 to switch buffering off (only allowed in binary mode), 1 to select
 56     line buffering (only usable in text mode), and an integer > 1 to indicate
 57     the size of a fixed-size chunk buffer.  When no buffering argument is
 58     given, the default buffering policy works as follows:
 59     
 60     * Binary files are buffered in fixed-size chunks; the size of the buffer
 61       is chosen using a heuristic trying to determine the underlying device's
 62       "block size" and falling back on `io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE`.
 63       On many systems, the buffer will typically be 4096 or 8192 bytes long.
 64     
 65     * "Interactive" text files (files for which isatty() returns True)
 66       use line buffering.  Other text files use the policy described above
 67       for binary files.
 68     
 69     encoding is the name of the encoding used to decode or encode the
 70     file. This should only be used in text mode. The default encoding is
 71     platform dependent, but any encoding supported by Python can be
 72     passed.  See the codecs module for the list of supported encodings.
 73     
 74     errors is an optional string that specifies how encoding errors are to
 75     be handled---this argument should not be used in binary mode. Pass
 76     'strict' to raise a ValueError exception if there is an encoding error
 77     (the default of None has the same effect), or pass 'ignore' to ignore
 78     errors. (Note that ignoring encoding errors can lead to data loss.)
 79     See the documentation for codecs.register or run 'help(codecs.Codec)'
 80     for a list of the permitted encoding error strings.
 81     
 82     newline controls how universal newlines works (it only applies to text
 83     mode). It can be None, '', '\n', '\r', and '\r\n'.  It works as
 84     follows:
 85     
 86     * On input, if newline is None, universal newlines mode is
 87       enabled. Lines in the input can end in '\n', '\r', or '\r\n', and
 88       these are translated into '\n' before being returned to the
 89       caller. If it is '', universal newline mode is enabled, but line
 90       endings are returned to the caller untranslated. If it has any of
 91       the other legal values, input lines are only terminated by the given
 92       string, and the line ending is returned to the caller untranslated.
 93     
 94     * On output, if newline is None, any '\n' characters written are
 95       translated to the system default line separator, os.linesep. If
 96       newline is '' or '\n', no translation takes place. If newline is any
 97       of the other legal values, any '\n' characters written are translated
 98       to the given string.
 99     
100     If closefd is False, the underlying file descriptor will be kept open
101     when the file is closed. This does not work when a file name is given
102     and must be True in that case.
103     
104     A custom opener can be used by passing a callable as *opener*. The
105     underlying file descriptor for the file object is then obtained by
106     calling *opener* with (*file*, *flags*). *opener* must return an open
107     file descriptor (passing os.open as *opener* results in functionality
108     similar to passing None).
109     
110     open() returns a file object whose type depends on the mode, and
111     through which the standard file operations such as reading and writing
112     are performed. When open() is used to open a file in a text mode ('w',
113     'r', 'wt', 'rt', etc.), it returns a TextIOWrapper. When used to open
114     a file in a binary mode, the returned class varies: in read binary
115     mode, it returns a BufferedReader; in write binary and append binary
116     modes, it returns a BufferedWriter, and in read/write mode, it returns
117     a BufferedRandom.
118     
119     It is also possible to use a string or bytearray as a file for both
120     reading and writing. For strings StringIO can be used like a file
121     opened in a text mode, and for bytes a BytesIO can be used like a file
122     opened in a binary mode.
