3	f.write('data') 
4	f.close() # You can add this but it is not mandatory 
5
6with open('filename', 'r') as f: # able to read data from file ( also is the default mode when opening a file in python)

8with open('filename', 'x') as f: # Creates new file, if it already exists it will cause it to fail

12with open('filename', 'b') as f: # Use if your file will contain binary data
13  
14with open('filename', 'w') as f: # Open file with ability to write, will also create the file if it does not exist (if it exists will cause it to fail)
