Convert .txt file to .py file in Java?

Question

If I have a standard txt file and I'm reading it in using either FileInputStream or FileReader, how can I convert that into a .py file using Java?

This makes no sense. How do you turn arbitrary text into Python source code? — Stephen C, Oct 26 '14 at 06:14
If you are simply asking how to copy a file with a different name in Java, that has been asked and answered many time before. — Stephen C, Oct 26 '14 at 06:15

Wow... looking back on this after these years, I have **absolutely** no idea what I was trying to do here... — Broots Waymb, Jun 01 '18 at 18:11

You don't have to read the file. All you have to do is change the file name:

File txtFile = new File("somefile.txt");
File pyFile = new File("somefile.py");
txtFile.renameTo(pyFile);
