Help on built-in function raw_input in module __builtin__:
raw_input(...)
raw_input([prompt]) -> string
Read a string from standard input. The trailing newline is stripped.
If the user hits EOF (Unix: Ctl-D, Windows: Ctl-Z+Return), raise EOFError.
On Unix, GNU readline is used if enabled. The prompt string, if given,
is printed without a trailing newline before reading.

The ``print`` statement
***********************
print_stmt ::= "print" ([expression ("," expression)* [","]]
| ">>" expression [("," expression)+ [","]])
``print`` evaluates each expression in turn and writes the resulting
object to standard output (see below). If an object is not a string,
it is first converted to a string using the rules for string
conversions. The (resulting or original) string is then written. A
space is written before each object is (converted and) written, unless
the output system believes it is positioned at the beginning of a
line. This is the case (1) when no characters have yet been written
to standard output, (2) when the last character written to standard
output is a whitespace character except ``' '``, or (3) when the last
write operation on standard output was not a ``print`` statement. (In
some cases it may be functional to write an empty string to standard
output for this reason.)
Note: Objects which act like file objects but which are not the built-in
file objects often do not properly emulate this aspect of the file
object's behavior, so it is best not to rely on this.
A ``'\n'`` character is written at the end, unless the ``print``
statement ends with a comma. This is the only action if the statement
contains just the keyword ``print``.
Standard output is defined as the file object named ``stdout`` in the
built-in module ``sys``. If no such object exists, or if it does not
have a ``write()`` method, a ``RuntimeError`` exception is raised.
``print`` also has an extended form, defined by the second portion of
the syntax described above. This form is sometimes referred to as
"``print`` chevron." In this form, the first expression after the
``>>`` must evaluate to a "file-like" object, specifically an object
that has a ``write()`` method as described above. With this extended
form, the subsequent expressions are printed to this file object. If
the first expression evaluates to ``None``, then ``sys.stdout`` is
used as the file for output.

Help on built-in function open in module __builtin__:
open(...)
open(name[, mode[, buffering]]) -> file object
Open a file using the file() type, returns a file object. This is the
preferred way to open a file.

class file(object)
| file(name[, mode[, buffering]]) -> file object
|
| Open a file. The mode can be 'r', 'w' or 'a' for reading (default),
| writing or appending. The file will be created if it doesn't exist
| when opened for writing or appending; it will be truncated when
| opened for writing. Add a 'b' to the mode for binary files.
| Add a '+' to the mode to allow simultaneous reading and writing.
| If the buffering argument is given, 0 means unbuffered, 1 means line
| buffered, and larger numbers specify the buffer size. The preferred way
| to open a file is with the builtin open() function.
| Add a 'U' to mode to open the file for input with universal newline
| support. Any line ending in the input file will be seen as a '\n'
| in Python. Also, a file so opened gains the attribute 'newlines';
| the value for this attribute is one of None (no newline read yet),
| '\r', '\n', '\r\n' or a tuple containing all the newline types seen.
|
| 'U' cannot be combined with 'w' or '+' mode.
|
| Methods defined here:
|
| __delattr__(...)
| x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name
|
| __enter__(...)
| __enter__() -> self.
|
| __exit__(...)
| __exit__(*excinfo) -> None. Closes the file.
|
| __getattribute__(...)
| x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name
|
| __init__(...)
| x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature
|
| __iter__(...)
| x.__iter__() <==> iter(x)
|
| __repr__(...)
| x.__repr__() <==> repr(x)
|
| __setattr__(...)
| x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value
|
| close(...)
| close() -> None or (perhaps) an integer. Close the file.
|
| Sets data attribute .closed to True. A closed file cannot be used for
| further I/O operations. close() may be called more than once without
| error. Some kinds of file objects (for example, opened by popen())
| may return an exit status upon closing.
|
| fileno(...)
| fileno() -> integer "file descriptor".
|
| This is needed for lower-level file interfaces, such os.read().
|
| flush(...)
| flush() -> None. Flush the internal I/O buffer.
|
| isatty(...)
| isatty() -> true or false. True if the file is connected to a tty device.
|
| next(...)
| x.next() -> the next value, or raise StopIteration
|
| read(...)
| read([size]) -> read at most size bytes, returned as a string.
|
| If the size argument is negative or omitted, read until EOF is reached.
| Notice that when in non-blocking mode, less data than what was requested
| may be returned, even if no size parameter was given.
|
| readinto(...)
| readinto() -> Undocumented. Don't use this; it may go away.
|
| readline(...)
| readline([size]) -> next line from the file, as a string.
|
| Retain newline. A non-negative size argument limits the maximum
| number of bytes to return (an incomplete line may be returned then).
| Return an empty string at EOF.
|
| readlines(...)
| readlines([size]) -> list of strings, each a line from the file.
|
| Call readline() repeatedly and return a list of the lines so read.
| The optional size argument, if given, is an approximate bound on the
| total number of bytes in the lines returned.
|
| seek(...)
| seek(offset[, whence]) -> None. Move to new file position.
|
| Argument offset is a byte count. Optional argument whence defaults to
| 0 (offset from start of file, offset should be >= 0); other values are 1
| (move relative to current position, positive or negative), and 2 (move
| relative to end of file, usually negative, although many platforms allow
| seeking beyond the end of a file). If the file is opened in text mode,
| only offsets returned by tell() are legal. Use of other offsets causes
| undefined behavior.
| Note that not all file objects are seekable.
|
| tell(...)
| tell() -> current file position, an integer (may be a long integer).
|
| truncate(...)
| truncate([size]) -> None. Truncate the file to at most size bytes.
|
| Size defaults to the current file position, as returned by tell().
|
| write(...)
| write(str) -> None. Write string str to file.
|
| Note that due to buffering, flush() or close() may be needed before
| the file on disk reflects the data written.
|
| writelines(...)
| writelines(sequence_of_strings) -> None. Write the strings to the file.
|
| Note that newlines are not added. The sequence can be any iterable object
| producing strings. This is equivalent to calling write() for each string.
|
| xreadlines(...)
| xreadlines() -> returns self.
|
| For backward compatibility. File objects now include the performance
| optimizations previously implemented in the xreadlines module.
