The above statement clobbers the existing binding of ‘str’ to the
built-in string type. From that point on, the built-in string type is no
longer accessible by the name ‘str’; that name accesses a different
object.

Choose a better name for the return value; make it describe what the
value is for in the context of the program.

    in_file = open('C:/MPython/test.txt', 'r')
    in_file_content = in_file.read()
    print in_file_content
    in_file.close()
    # …

It also has the advantage of making your code more readable, since the
names help indicate *why* the code is written the way it is.
