FILE HANDLING - REVISION NOTES

What Is File Handling In Python?

Files are named location on the disk used to store data permanently.
Files are non-volatile in nature. Python offers a wide range of methods to handle
the files stored on the disk, we can perform various operation like reading,
writing, editing files stored in computer permanent storage though python
programs.

File Handling Steps

1. Open the File
2. Process the file (Read/write/append)
3. Close the file
4. Opening a file:

Opening A File

To perform any kid of operation on a file, the programmer first need to

open the file by using open() method.

Syntax:

<file_object_name>=open(<filename>,<mode>)

File Pointer: File pointer/file handler is reference to the file on the disk which is
being opened.

File Path: The Location of the file on the disk

File Access Mode: This specifies the nature of operation(read/write/append) to
be performed on the file.

File Access Modes

Read Mode: when a file is opened in read mode then the file must exist,
otherwise python will raise an I/O error.

Write Mode: When a file is opened in write mode and if the file does not exist
then a new file will be created at the specified location on the disk with the same
name. If the file exist on the disk, then the file will be truncated, the user can
overwrite new data into the file.

Append Mode: When a file is opened in append mode and if the file does not
exist then a new file will be created at the specified location on the disk with the
same name. If the file exist on the disk, then the file’s exixting data will be
retained and new data can be appended at the end of the file.

Closing a File
The close() method is used to close an opened file, the execution of close()
method breaks the reference of the file object to file on disk, so after execution of
close() method no operation on the file can be performed, without reopening the
file.
Syntax: <fileHandle>.close()
File Handling and File Types

Python offers wide range of modules/methods to perform file handling

operation on both Text File and Binary File

Text File:

Text files stores the information on the file as sequence of ASCII or Unicode
characters. These files can be open in any text editor in a human readable form.

Binary File:

Binary files stores information as a sequence of bytes, Binary files stores

the information in the same format as it is stored in the memory.

Text File Handling:

Reading a Text File:

We can use any of these 3 methods/functions In order to perform read operation

on a text file:
read([n])
readline([n])
readlines()

read() method:

read() function is used to read contents of a text file and returns the result
as a string. If invoked with argument n it returns n number of bytes(characters)
from file.

Syntax:

<file_object>.read([n])

readline() method:
This function is used to read a line of input text file and returns the result as
a string. If argument n specified then reads at n bytes(characters) of the current
line.
 Syntax:
<file_object>.readline([n])

readlines() method:
This function is reads all the line of the input text file and returns each line
as string encapsulated inside a List.

Syntax:
<file_object>.readlines()

Writing into a Text File:

Python provides these two functions for writing into a text file

Appending into a Text File:

When a file is opened in append mode, then new data can be added
into the file without erasing the existing old data in the file, the new data will be
appended at the end of the existing data. To open a file append mode, file mode
need to be set as append “a” while executing open() method.

Binary File Handling

Binary files can store more structured python objects like list, tuple,
dictionary by converting these objects into byte stream( called
serialization/pickling), these objects can brought back to original form while
reading the file (called unpickling).

Pickle module is very useful when it come to binary file handling. We will
use dump() and load() methods of pickle module to write and read data objects
into binary files.
Writing into a binary file:

The dump() function of pickle module can be used to write an object into a
binary file.

Syntax: pickle.dump( <object_to_be_witten>, <filehandle>)

Reading a binary file

To read from a binary file the load() method of the pickle module can be
used. This method unpickles the data from the binary file(convert binary stream
into original object structure).

Syntax: <object>=pickle.load(<filehandle>)

Comma Separated File (CSV) File Handling

CSV stands for “Comma Separated Values.” It is used to store data in a

tabular form in a text file. The fact that CSV files are actually text files, It becomes
very useful to export high volume data to a database or to a server.

Reading/Writing operations on a CSV file can be performed using the csv

module of python. to use the methods of csv module we have to import the csv
module into our program.

Writing into a csv File

As csv file is basically a text file, to write into a csv file mode “w” must be
specified along with the file path in the open() method to open the file.

f=open(`C:\\myfolder\\new.csv’,`w’)
 After the file is being open and a file handle is created, we need to create a
writer object using writer() method.

<writerObject>=csv.writer(<fileHandle>)

The writerow() method can be used to write a List object into the csv file.

<writerObject>.writerow(<[List]>)

Reading From a csv File

To read data from a csv file, the file need to opened in the same way as any
text file ( Note: The file extension is .csv)

f=open(`C:\\myfolder\\new.csv’,`r’)

After the file is being open and a file handle is created, we need to create a
reader object using reader() method.

<readerObject>=csv.reader(<fileHandle>)

Once created, a reader object carries all data from the referenced csv file.

Vihaan is a Python programmer working in a school. For the Annual Sports Event, he has created a
csv file named Sports.csv, to store theresults of students in different sports events. The structure
of Sports.csv is :
[Player_Id, Player_Name, Game, Result]
Where
Player_Idis Player ID (integer)
Player_nameis Player Name (string)
65 Game is name of game in which student is participating(string)
Result is result of the game whose value can be either 'Winner', 'Defeated'or 'NO result'
For efficiently maintaining data of the event, Vihaan wants to write thefollowing user defined
functions:
input() – to input a record from the user and add it to the file Sports.csv. The column
headings should also be added on top of the csv file.
Winner_Count()– to count the number of player who have won any event.
As a Python expert, help him complete the task.
