How can I load a .py file in the python interactive shell for debugging?
To load a file in the Python shell, you can use the built-in open() function. Simply pass in the file name and the mode in which you want to open the file (e.g. "r" for read mode). This will return a file object, which you can then use to read and manipulate the contents of the file.
open() and read() in Python?The open() function is used to open a file and return a file object. The read() function is used to read the contents of the file object. In other words, open() is used to access the file, while read() is used to access the contents of the file.
You can use the os.path.exists() function to check if a file exists before loading it in the Python shell. This function takes in the file path as an argument and returns True if the file exists and False if it does not.
Yes, you can load a file from a different directory in the Python shell. You just need to provide the full file path when using the open() function. Alternatively, you can use the os.chdir() function to change the current working directory to the directory where the file is located.
Yes, it is possible to load a specific line from a file in the Python shell. You can use the readline() function to read a single line from the file object, or the readlines() function to read multiple lines and store them in a list.
