Python: convert unicode to file pointer
<p>I have a variable say f which is initialized to a unicode string</p>

<pre><code>f= u"&lt;open file 'C:\\IVR\\log\\IVR.log', mode 'r' at 0x02A8AB20&gt;"
</code></pre>

<p>I want to convert this to a file pointer type. Is it possible? ie</p>

<pre><code>f=&lt;open file 'C:\\IVR\\log\\IVR.log', mode 'r' at 0x02A8AB20&gt;
</code></pre>
