A file object represents an open file. File objects are created by the
:func:`open` built-in function, and also by :func:`os.popen`,
:func:`os.fdopen`, and the :meth:`makefile` method of socket objects (and
perhaps by other functions or methods provided by extension modules). The
objects ``sys.stdin``, ``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr`` are initialized to
file objects corresponding to the interpreter's standard input, output and
error streams. See :ref:`bltin-file-objects` for complete documentation of
file objects.
A file object represents an open file. Various shortcuts are available
to create file objects: the :func:`open` built-in function, and also
:func:`os.popen`, :func:`os.fdopen`, and the :meth:`makefile` method
of socket objects (and perhaps by other functions or methods provided
by extension modules).
The objects ``sys.stdin``, ``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr`` are
initialized to file objects corresponding to the interpreter's standard
input, output and error streams; they are all open in text mode and
therefore follow the interface defined by the :class:`io.TextIOBase`
abstract class.
