How to read this file on Python 3.4.4?

Question

readme = open (r'c:\users\user\desktop\br.txt','r',encoding = 'utf-8')

print (readme.read)

I have been trying to open a file, but this script isn't working, it says

built-in method read of _io.TextIOWrapper object at 0x00000000036A83A8

You need to actually *call* the read method. Change `readme.read` to `readme.read()`. Note the parentheses. — idjaw, Sep 12 '16 at 03:58

you want to call readme.read() method to read file.

readme = open (r'c:\users\user\desktop\br.txt','r',encoding = 'utf-8')
readme.read()

if you want to read file line by line you can use.

readme.readlines()
