[Tutor] file I/O

Where was that hiding when I was looking for it? Suddenly the language
reference contains all kinds of useful stuff. Either my local version
doesn't have it or I was blind. Probably the latter.

Well, if you have any questions on certain topics, feel free to ask them
here.  If there's some part of Python that doesn't seem well documented,
we can help patch it up... *grin*

By the way, it sounds like you may be doing some string manipulation
stuff.  If so, take a look here:

    http://python.org/doc/lib/strings.html

It gives more specific information on string manipulation.  For example,
you can find information on strip() and its variants here:

    http://python.org/doc/lib/module-string.html#l2h-645
