/
-=

3. Function to close a file - it will not be able to be used again unless the file is opened.
abs(a)
=
**=
close

4. This variable holds the arguments you pass to your Python script when you run it. Then you unpack it in your script so you have variables you can work with.
:
argument variable
+=
readline

5. A logical operator which returns a value of True if either of the conditions is true.
a%b

or
+=

6. Less than symbol
file.seek()
<
readline
*

7. End header line.
.py
def
:
append()

8. Adds something to a variable
%
=
*=
while

9. modulo
a%b
#
==
in

10. Argument variable
&
argv

33. Greater than or equal symbol.
=
for
>=

34. writes stuff to the file
%r
>
