Summary

So far, we have seen how to use Python to access and/or store information in two different kinds of file formats: text files (Chapter 9) and image files (Chapter 13). The former hold numbers, letters, punctuation characters, and some special characters. The latter hold the image information and are encoded in formats such as the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) formats.
