I've just started to test/learn python. I've got Linux > mandrake9 > python & documentation. What I'll initially want to be doing needs file I/O, so I wanted to confirm file I/O early in my tests.
Following the examples : >>> f=open('/tmp/workfile', 'w') >>> print f <open file '/tmp/workfile', mode 'w' at 80a0960> <-- OK But: >>> f.read(size) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? NameError: name 'size' is not defined <-- ?? Obj-method unknown ?? What's wrong ? I read: "The set of such modules is a configuration option which also depends on the underlying platform." My documenation refers also to Mac & Win installations. Is there a linux > python NewsGroup ? Thanks for any info. == Chris Glur. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
