`io.TextIOBase`¶

class io.TextIOBase[source]¶

Base class for text I/O.

This class provides a character and line based interface to stream I/O. There is no readinto method because Python’s character strings are immutable. There is no public constructor.

Methods¶

`__enter__`
`__exit__`
`__format__`	default object formatter
`__new__`((S, ...)
`__reduce__`	helper for pickle
`__reduce_ex__`	helper for pickle
`__sizeof__`(() -> int)	size of object in memory, in bytes
`__subclasshook__`	Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().
`_checkClosed`
`_checkReadable`
`_checkSeekable`
`_checkWritable`
`close`	Flush and close the IO object.
`detach`	Separate the underlying buffer from the TextIOBase and return it.
`fileno`	Returns underlying file descriptor if one exists.
`flush`	Flush write buffers, if applicable.
`isatty`	Return whether this is an ‘interactive’ stream.
`read`	Read at most n characters from stream.
`readable`	Return whether object was opened for reading.
`readline`	Read until newline or EOF.
`readlines`	Return a list of lines from the stream.
`seek`	Change stream position.
`seekable`	Return whether object supports random access.
`tell`	Return current stream position.
`truncate`	Truncate file to size bytes.
`writable`	Return whether object was opened for writing.
`write`	Write string to stream.
`writelines`

Attributes¶

`encoding`	Encoding of the text stream.
`errors`	The error setting of the decoder or encoder.
`newlines`	Line endings translated so far.
