Python IOError: File not open for reading

Question

I get an error when I try to open a file in Python. Here is my code :

>>> import os.path
>>> os.path.isfile(\'/path/to/file/t1.txt\')
>>&         


        

Answer 1

Simple mistake if you think about it it. In your code you are doing:

myfile = open('/path/to/file/t1.txt','w')

Which specifies it is for writing, what you need to do is set this to r which is for read

myfile = open('/path/to/file/t1.txt','r')
