我在使用Python打印文件时遇到问题

Question

So I'm trying to open a file and store it's contents as a variable. It feels like this should be really simple but I am not getting what I want. This is my code:

file = str(input('enter a file name to decipher: '))
DAta = open(file,'r')
print(DAta.read)

And I thought that this would just print out my file. But I keep getting this:

<built-in method read of _io.TextIOWrapper object at 0x03044E30>

I could really use some help and fast. thanks a bunch!

Answer 1

You need to call the read method, which is done by following it with parentheses. Without them, it is simply a bound method. So use:

print(DAta.read())

Also, it's a good idea to close a file when you're done accessing it:

DAta.close()

Answer 2

@abby通过包括如read（）这样的圆形括号来调用read方法，您应该像DAta.read（）这样打印文件内容，并且在读取文件内容之后，一定要养成使用close（）方法关闭文件的习惯DAta.close（）。

Answer 3

read是File类中的方法 ，因此必须添加（）

DAta.read()
