How do i open ANS files in python?

Python 2.7.8 (with colorama) doesn't seem to load ANS files correctly. When i print an ANS file out, the output is blank.

The code is is: o = open("C:\ANSI\DATA\MENU1.AMS", 'r') print(o) Am i forgetting a special character or something?

Here you are not at all printing the contents of the file.

You can do it using the read() function.

Doing it like print(o.read()) would work fine.
