Open a file of Type file in python

Question

I have few mail files stored without any extension:

how to open them??

Answer 1

with open('1', 'r') as fp:
    content = fp.read()

This way, the file will always be closed.

Answer 2

To add on to @math2001's answer, you could do something like this:

numOfFiles = #int
data = []

for files in range(1, numOfFiles+1):
    with open(str(files), 'r') as f:
        // do whatever data processing you need to do
        fileData = f.read()
        data.append(fileData)
