"open" is a so called "built-in" function. In "normal" (i.e. not restricted) mode, it should be available. Are you sure, you operate in "normal" mode? Under Python 3, you could try to import "open" from the module "io". (Under Python 2, "file" is a synonym for "open"). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
