Video 10: Delimited Files (page 2 of 3)

Python allows us to work with delimited text files using built-in packages with just a few lines of code. In Python, we interact with files using a handle object. Conceptualize a "handle" as an interface between the file and our script. Therefore, we interact with files indirectly through handle objects.



Python will allow us to open a handle to any ascii file. In the above picture, the handle connects to an unstructured email file.
