The correctness of a program as a solution to an assignment
depends on the exact wording of the assignment, so it's a
bit difficult to say without seeing it.

This is not entirely clear, since case is significant in Python
("S" is not the same as "s"), and it is ambiguous whether it refers
to a file actually named "S" or to a file whose name is provided as
a str object bound to the name "s" in the function's source code.
