Python Forum

Hello
i have a .py file i want to open it using open() and convert it to .asc file . Am completely new to python. Any help will be appreciated.

Why do you want to convert the .py file into a .asc file?

The file already is ASCII, just rename
filename.py to filename.txt

To display the text file using the systems default text viewer:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('filename.txt')

I don't think ASCII has something to do with this.
.asc file extension are script files that have been written in the ActionScript programming language.

So @Gribouillis why question is something i also wonder about.
Can look at code in .py and try to rewrite in ActionScript,but then use Python open() i can't make sense of.

Oh dear looks like I misunderstood, sorry.
