title: How can i open a folder using python?
body: <p>I've tried reading through the other answered similar questions, yet still can't find what I'm doing wrong.</p>
  
  <pre><code>file=open("Crawl","r")
  cont=file.read()
  file.close
  print(cont)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's as simple as that. Both the folder and python are on the desktop which explains why there isn't a directory to it. I did try opening .txt and .png files and that did work, but it seems I can't open folders?</p>
