File Handle

This document discusses various methods of reading and writing files in Python, including: 1. Opening files in read, write, append, and binary modes. Methods like read(), readline(), readlines() are used to read file contents while write() writes to files. 2. The seek() method changes the file pointer position and tell() returns the current file position. 3. A program demonstrates counting lines and displaying record numbers when reading a file. 4. The differences between write and append modes are shown using an example.
