Python File I/O and Exception Handling

The document covers file input/output operations in Python, highlighting the distinction between text and binary files. It also discusses the use of assertions for defensive programming to ensure that assumptions about the state of computation are correct. Additionally, it includes links to external resources for further reading and exercises.

Reading and Writing Files

It is a common task to
• read some input data file
• do some calculation/filtering/processing with the data
• write some output data file with results

Python distinguishes between


• text files ('t')
• binary files 'b')
If we don’t specify the file type, Python assumes we
mean text files.
