file open/read/name etc, not working

[globalrev]

import os

print os.path.exists('C:/Python25/myPrograms/netflix/test.txt')
d=open('C:/Python25/myPrograms/netflix/flim.txt', 'r')
d.readline()

returns true in the shell but prints no text even though the document
contains text.

d.name returns nothing, d.name() raises an error.

d=open('C:/Python25/myPrograms/netflix/flim.txt', 'r')

Two different paths again.

d.readline()

This reads one line and then does absolutely nothing with it. The
Python interactive shell prints the result of each expression, which
is a Good Thing. For Python to do the same when running a script would
be a Bad Thing.

readline and readlines are old hat; instead, iterate over the file
object, like this:

for line in d:
print line,

returns true in the shell but prints no text even though the document
contains text.

d.name returns nothing, d.name() raises an error.

d.name should return the name of the file; I suspect that you again
have done nothing with it. d.name() would raise an exception because
d.name is not a method, so you can't call it.

HTH,

import os

print os.path.exists('C:/Python25/myPrograms/netflix/test.txt')
d=open('C:/Python25/myPrograms/netflix/flim.txt', 'r')
d.readline()

returns true in the shell but prints no text even though the document
contains text.

d.name returns nothing, d.name() raises an error.

Try...

import os

print os.path.exists('C:/Python25/myPrograms/netflix/test.txt')
d=open('C:/Python25/myPrograms/netflix/flim.txt', 'r')
for line in d:
print line


And I'm guessing that's a typo in flim.txt?
