reading data from a file
#1
Hi,

I have this function, but I can't get it to work:
class DataTest( object ):
    def testReadData( self ):
        path = '/home/pi/Desktop/test.txt'
        with open(path, 'r') as f:
            f.read()
Yet when I try to get the text from the file from outside the class:
test = DataTest.testReadData(self)
print(test)
It returns None

What am I doing wrong please?
