Adding File Handling to the Python Learning List about ultimate-python HOT 9 CLOSED

I am interested in contributing to this resource compilation, so if you like this suggestion could you assign it to me?

Hi @ArcXeon thanks for raising up your interest. How were you planning to teach file handling concept(s) to people?

Also, what did you think of these lessons?

• https://github.com/huangsam/ultimate-python/blob/master/ultimatepython/advanced/context_manager.py
• https://github.com/huangsam/ultimate-python/blob/master/ultimatepython/advanced/data_format.py

I'd like to know if there's more that can be done in those lessons to showcase file handling / file formats.

Hi @huangsam, the context_manager.py provides a good example of how to create and use context managers in Python, specifically for handling file-like objects using the StringIO class. But I think it doesn't directly demonstrate all aspects of file handling basics (like reading, writing, or appending to files on disk).

An additional code can be created to demonstrate reading from, writing to, or appending to real files on disk using the built-in open function and various modes like "r" (read), "w" (write), and "a" (append). This would give new learners a more comprehensive understanding of file handling in Python. I think this code can be added in the syntax with beginner level difficulty.

I think that file oriented stuff is complex. Not sure if it's what I would teach early on. Also we'd likely want to limit to in-memory file manipulation due to the nature of this repo

Do you think adding code or comments to the later lessons could help here?

So maybe it can be added in advanced or maybe just adding it as an external resource along with the context manager or data format.

Yea how does that sound?

Hi @ArcXeon do you have any additional Qs or concerns? If not, feel free to create the PR in the next few weeks. Looking forward to more collaborations together!

@huangsam So like I should proceed with my last suggestion and make a PR ?

from ultimate-python.

Yes you can make a PR
