f = open("my_file", "r")  lines = f.read()  f.close():

f = open("my_file", "r")  lines = f.read()  f.close():

with open("my_file", "r"): Open my_file as read only, "a": append, "w": write, "x": create
os.path.join(root, file) : Combine root and file str.endswith(".pdf"): Return True if str ends with ".pdf"

import csv with open('my_csv.csv') as csvfile  lines = csv.reader(csvfile)  for row in lines:
