I've got a few questions about best practices in Python. Not too long ago I would do something like this with my code:
...
junk_block = "".join(open("foo.txt","rb").read().split())
...
I don't do this anymore because I can see that it makes code harder to read, but would the code run slower if I split the statements up like so:
f_obj = open("foo.txt", "rb")
f_data = f_obj.read()
f_data_list = f_data.split()
junk_block = "".join(f_data_list)
I also noticed that there's nothing keeping you from doing an 'import' within a function block, is there any reason why I should do that?
