file object
An object exposing a file-oriented API (with methods such as
- :meth:`read()` or :meth:`write()`) to an underlying resource.
- Depending on the way it was created, a file object can mediate access
- to a real on-disk file or to another other type of storage or
- communication device (for example standard input/output, in-memory
- buffers, sockets, pipes, etc.). File objects are also called
- :dfn:`file-like objects` or :dfn:`streams`.
-
- There are actually three categories of file objects: raw binary
- files, buffered binary files and text files. Their interfaces are
- defined in the :mod:`io` module. The canonical way to create a
- file object is by using the :func:`open` function.
