You forgot the parentheses (), and are returning a reference to the function instead of calling it and returning its result. Do this: contents = file_object.read() Also, consider using snake_case instead of PascalCase for your function name, since the latter is typically used for classes, and perhaps call it read_file to better describe it? -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
