Description
In the second code example in the Managing Files documentation on the File object, the file /tmp/hello.world is shown as being opened in write-mode, but it should actually be opened in read mode. Write-mode would destroy the contents of the file.
In other words, please change this
# Create a Python file object using open() and the with statement
>>> with open('/tmp/hello.world', 'w') as f:
>>> myfile = File(f)
...
to this
# Create a Python file object using open() and the with statement
>>> with open('/tmp/hello.world') as f:
>>> myfile = File(f)
...
