Using Python 2.6 under Linux (Fedora 7):

>>> f = open('garbage', 'r')  # prove the file doesn't exist
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'garbage'
>>> f = open('garbage', 'wb+')
>>> f.read(4)
''
>>> f.write('hello world\n')
>>> f.seek(0)
>>> f.read(100)
'hello world\n'
