Hi :)

i have this example script COFFEE:

//This script reads the text from a file called "position.txt" on the desktop and converts the string to a float value
//Then uses it to position the currently selected object
// NOTE: Make sure there are no spaces in your text file or you will get an error
var name = doc->GetFilename();
name->SetFullString("C:/Users/user/Desktop");
name->AddLast("values.txt");
var filename = name;
var file = new(BaseFile);
file->Open(filename, GE_READ);
var str = file->ReadString(file->GetLength());
var pos = file->GetPosition(); // Gets total number of characters
var seek = file->Seek(4,false);// Gets the fourth character
var read = file->ReadString( seek+1, GE_XBIT );// reads the fourth and fifth characters
var y = evaluate(read); //Converts string info from the file into a float value
op#ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_POSITION:VECTOR_Y = y;// Set the Y position to this value

how is possible to convert this scritp in Python?

I Have search in python documentation but to no avail....

Thanks :)
