The Stream
The Stream
The stream refers to the bidirectional process of the program interacting with the File. Writing to the file means sending and saving data in the File, while reading from the file is the process of immutably viewing data without making any changes to the original content.
The Object
The Object in Python's io module represents an instance of a class for file interaction. Two key classes are BufferedIOBase for binary streams, enhancing I/O performance with buffering, and TextIOBase for handling text streams. These classes enable efficient communication between the program and the file.
The File
The file is the source of data/content that the IO Object interacts with. The term "file" is a representative term and could mean an actual file, such as a text file (.txt) or a binary file (.bin) or could mean any collection that has data that can be accessed by the IO Object.
