[Tutor] re adlines, read, and my own get_contents()

[John [H2O]]

I've defined:

def get_contents(infile=file_object):
   """ return a list of lines from a file """
   contents=infile.read()
   contents = contents.strip().split('\n')
   return contents

then there's also:

file_object.read()

and 

file_object.readlines()

and

file_object.readline()

I think I understand the differences, but can someone tell me if there's any
difference between what I define and the readlines() method?
