[Tutor] Naive Questions

[Michael Powe]

hello,

a couple questions to which i haven't been able to find answers.

i don't seem to find a python equivalent to the "rewind" file operation
in C -- that is, i read through a file and i want to go back to the
beginning and read again.  is the only option to close & reopen?

and just from curiosity, why are there no increment/decrement operators,
and nothing equivalent to += & its friends?  i'd have thought this
would be a faq, but don't find anything about it there.

the first item actually relates to something i'm working on.  the second,
just that i'm lazy & find having to always type out i = i+1 annoying.  ;-)

thanks.
