Is there more?

Of course there is: you can tell where you are in a text file by using its tell method, i.e. f.tell(), you can seek to a particular location in a file using f.seek(offset), tell if a file is open by checking its closed attribute. There is always more...but this is enough for now1.


>>> dir(f)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__enter__', '__exit__', '__format__', 
'__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__new__', '__reduce__', 
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', 
'__subclasshook__', 'close', 'closed', 'encoding', 'errors', 'fileno', 
'flush', 'isatty', 'mode', 'name', 'newlines', 'next', 'read', 'readinto', 
'readline', 'readlines', 'seek', 'softspace', 'tell', 'truncate', 'write', 
'writelines', 'xreadlines']
