Python: printing a file to stdout

Question

I\'ve searched and I can only find questions about the other way around: writing stdin to a file :)

Is there a quick and easy way to dump the contents of a file to s

Answer 1

If you need to do this with the pathlib module, you can use pathlib.Path.open() to open the file and print the text from read():

from pathlib import Path

fpath = Path("somefile.txt")

with fpath.open() as f:
    print(f.read())

Or simply call pathlib.Path.read_text():

from pathlib import Path

fpath = Path("somefile.txt")

print(fpath.read_text())

Answer 2

My shortened version in Python3

print(open('file.txt').read())
