Or I suggest something more verbose...


>>> print(open.__doc__)
open(filename) -> file object for reading in text mode

open(filename, mode=binary[, buffering]) -> file object in binary mode
open(filename[, mode=text][, buffering][,encoding][,errors][,newline])
                                         -> file object in text mode

open(file_descriptor[, ...][, closefd]) -> file object

Open file and return a stream.  Raise IOError upon failure.

filename is either a text or byte string giving the name (and the path
if the file isn't in the current working directory) of the file to
be opened.

file_descriptor is an integer file descriptor of the file to be
wrapped. The file descriptor is closed when the returned I/O object is
closed, unless closefd is set to False.)

mode is an optional string that specifies the mode in which the file
is opened...
