A Smarter Way to Learn Python - Chapter 62 Exercises

Fill in the blank.

____ open("whatever.txt", "w") as file_to_work_with:

with

^ *with *$

When you open a file by writing with at the beginning of the line, Python _______ the file automatically after you write to it.

closes

^ *closes *$

Fill in the blank.

_____________("whatever.txt", "w") as file_to_work_with:

with open

with `open

The name of the file is "names.txt". Fill in the blank.

____________________________, "w") as f:

with open("names.txt"

What is the file handle here?

with open("cities.txt", "w") as data:

data

^ *data *$

Open the file "x.txt" so you can write to it. Make up the file handle.

with open("x.txt", "w") as the_file_to_write_to:

^ *with open$•x.txt•, •w•$ as [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*: *$

Open a file so you can write to it. Make up the file name and file handle.

with open("recipes.txt", "w") as f:

^ *with open$•[-\w^&'@{}[\],$=!#().%+~ ]+\.txt•, •w•$ as [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*: *$

If the Python program that opens a file is in the folder named python, the text file is in the folder named _______, according to this code.

with open("recipes.txt", "w") as f:

python

^ *python *$

Open a text file that's in a different folder than the Python program that's opening it. Assume you're in Windows. Make everything up.

with open("text_files\recipes.txt", "w") as f:

^ *with open$•.+\\.+\.txt•, •w•$ as [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*: *$

Open a text file that's in a different folder than the Python program that's opening it. Assume you're in OS X or Linux. Make everything up.

with open("text_files/recipes.txt", "w") as f:

^ *with open$•.+\/.+\.txt•, •w•$ as [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*: *$

There's no live coding for this chapter. Instead, I want you to get ready to run Python on your computer so you can start working with files, beginning with the next chapter. Follow the instructions in Appendix D of the book to run Python in IDLE on your computer. The instructions include how to check whether Python 3 is installed on your computer and, if not, how to install it.
