Python file operations examples

I apologize for the misunderstanding earlier! Since you've requested to respond in English only, I'll provide some Python file operations examples for your reference.

Python provides several built-in methods and libraries for performing various file operations. Here are a few examples:

You can read a file using the open function and then reading from the resulting file object.

with open('example.txt', 'r') as f:
contents = f.read()
print(contents)

You can write to a file using the open function and the write method of the resulting file object.

with open('example.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write("Hello, world!")

If you want to add more content to an existing file without overwriting it, use the 'a' mode with the open function and the write method.

with open('example.txt', 'a') as f:
f.write("This is appended text.")

You can create a new file by specifying the mode as 'w' when opening the file. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.

with open('new_file.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write("This is some content.")

Python's shutil library provides a copyfileobj function that can be used to copy files.

import shutil
with open('source.txt', 'rb') as source_file,
open('destination.txt', 'wb') as destination_file:
shutil.copyfileobj(source_file, destination_file)

You can delete a file using the os.remove function from Python's built-in os library.

import os
if os.path.exists('example.txt'):
os.remove('example.txt')
else:
print("The file does not exist.")

Python's os.rename function can be used to rename a file.

import os
if os.path.exists('old_name.txt'):
os.rename('old_name.txt', 'new_name.txt')
else:
print("The original file does not exist.")

You can use Python's os.stat function from the built-in os library to get information about a file.

import os
file_stats = os.stat('example.txt')
print(f"File size: {file_stats.st_size} bytes")
print(f"File created: {file_stats.st_ctime}")
print(f"File modified: {file_stats.st_mtime}")

You can create a new directory using the os.makedirs function from Python's built-in os library.

import os
os.makedirs('new_dir', exist_ok=True)

The os.rmdir function from Python's built-in os library can be used to remove an empty directory.

import os
if os.path.exists('directory'):
os.rmdir('directory')
else:
print("The directory does not exist.")

Remember that these are just a few examples, and there are many other ways you can work with files in Python.
