file read in one line

output = open('pagehead.section.htm','r').read() # Not recommended in script (use in interactive mode)

Note: The above expression does not close the file handle, which is bad. But all file handles

are closed when the script exits. In interactive mode (command from terminal), all resources are

freed when the interpreter exits.
