Show us more code. Like the buffer you read into and what you do with it, and whether you also try to write to the file, etc. Show us your whole program.

That is all of my code. That's literally all I'm trying to do, open file and read it. Nothing more.

If it doesn't appear to be "hanging", then it's not a problem with blocking.

I take it you are doing this at the interactive prompt (so that you can see the value of the expression 'x.read()')?

What kind of file is it? What are you expecting to see, and why? What does it look like if you open it in a text editor (such as Notepad)?

Its a plugin file for a game tht I've made a text file, so I'm expecting to see some data that tells the game to do certain things. If I open it up in notepad,I see this data, if I use the read() function, I only see the first prt of the data. But, like I said before, the read() function was working just fine a couple of nights ago.

Looks like a Unicode problem, specifically a codepage mismatch. What was the original encoding of the file?

Did you try f = open("test.txt", "rb")

You are reading a binary file.
