Two different paths again.

This reads one line and then does absolutely nothing with it. The
Python interactive shell prints the result of each expression, which
is a Good Thing. For Python to do the same when running a script would
be a Bad Thing.
readline and readlines are old hat; instead, iterate over the file
object, like this:
for line in d:
print line,

d.name should return the name of the file; I suspect that you again
have done nothing with it. d.name() would raise an exception because
d.name is not a method, so you can't call it.
