Python allows performing file input/output operations like reading and writing data to text and binary files. There are different modes to open a file including read, write and append. We must open a file before reading or writing to it. Common file operations include reading/writing data, reading lines, deleting a file, and using the 'with' syntax to automatically close the file.
