To clarify - you don't want a class that has functions that need to be 
called in a certain order with *valid input* in order to not crash.

Exactly what does happen - a ValueError is raised because you're(*) 
passing self into the file.read() function, and that input is invalid 
input - specifically:

     ValueError: I/O operation on closed file

*where you actually means python, because when you call 
`your_instance.method()`, it works effectively like a call to 
`YourClass.method(your_instance)`
