Note: VC Code does not, by default, run python files in the directory where they are saved. To change this behavior, click Code > Settings > Settings, search for "python.terminal.executeInFileDir", and enable it.

Read from a File


from pathlib import Path

path = Path('pi_digits.txt') # locate file (in current directory)
contents = path.read_text().rstrip() # read its contents into memory as a string, removing any whitespace
print(f'File as one string:\n{contents}')

lines = contents.splitlines() # separate file by line breaks
print('File as one string per line:')
for line in lines:
    print(line)

Write to a File
