Why's that here? You don't need that import...

Open the file and associate its resulting *object* to the 'vsftpd' variable.

Print the object's __str__.

Read the full file into the string at the LHS (left side of the '='). In your
case, it reads the full file and discard its contents.
> vsftpd.readlines()
Read all other lines (none) into an array on the LHS.
> vsftpd.close()
Close the file.

What issue? You did nothing with what you read, just with the object itself.
