Python : myFile = open(argFilename)

Java : import java.io.*; BufferedReader myFile = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(argFilename));

Python : myFile = file(argFilename)

open is deprecated. Besides: You are right.

Open() is an older construct but it isn't deprecated. I hate to sound like the language police but there it is.

Oh, I misremembered. Thanks for pointing out.
