How do I work with file modules in Python?

In Python, you can use built-in modules like os, shutil, and pathlib for file operations. What specific task do you want to accomplish?

I want to read a text file and print its contents.

You can use the open() function to read a file. Here's a simple example:

with open('file.txt', 'r') as file:
    contents = file.read()
    print(contents)

What if the file doesn't exist?

You can handle that using a try-except block. Here's how:

try:
    with open('file.txt', 'r') as file:
        contents = file.read()
        print(contents)
except FileNotFoundError:
    print('File not found!')

Can I write to a file as well?

Yes, you can write to a file using the open() function with the 'w' mode. For example:

with open('file.txt', 'w') as file:
    file.write('Hello, World!')
