Hello All, I am working my way through learning python as a language. I am having some issues with something that looks right and does not work. I am trying to get myself more familure with reading files. Based on the tutorials at www.python.org This "should" work. but im not sure what the issue is.
===SNIP=== import string vsftpd=open('vsftpd.conf', 'r') print vsftpd vsftpd.read() vsftpd.readlines() vsftpd.close() ===SNIP=== When I check the permissions to ensure they are correct I get the following. stat vsftpd.conf File: `vsftpd.conf' Size: 4137 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 131072 regular file Device: 802h/2050d Inode: 51010 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/ testing) Gid: ( 1000/ testing) Access: 2005-12-19 10:21:04.000000000 +0000 Modify: 2005-12-16 12:34:00.000000000 +0000 Change: 2005-12-16 12:34:00.000000000 +0000 When I run the script I get the following: python reading_file.py <open file 'vsftpd.conf', mode 'r' at 0xb7d742a8> Does anyone have any advice on this issue at all.
