File Handling and Exceptions – Python Notes

1. Reading/Writing Text Files


 Open a file: f = open('file.txt', 'r')
 Modes: r (read), w (write), a (append), b (binary), x (create new)
 Read: f.read(), f.readline(), f.readlines()
 Write: f.write('Hello'), f.writelines(['a\n','b\n'])
 With statement: with open('file.txt','r') as f: data = f.read()

2. CSV Files
 Use csv module
 Writing: writer.writerow([...]), writer.writerows([...])
 Reading: for row in reader: print(row)

3. JSON Files
 Use json module
 Writing: json.dump(data, f)
 Reading: obj = json.load(f)

4. Binary Files
 Write: with open('data.bin','wb') as f: f.write(b'Hello')
 Read: with open('data.bin','rb') as f: print(f.read())

5. Exception Handling
 try-except-else-finally structure
 Custom Exceptions: class MyError(Exception): pass

6. Directory Traversal & File Automation


 os: os.getcwd(), os.listdir(), os.mkdir(), os.remove()
 shutil: shutil.copy(), shutil.move()
 glob: glob.glob('*.txt')

7. Case Study: Log File Analyzer with Error Handling


 Example code provided for analyzing errors in log files with exception handling.
