I would certainly hope not, since there is barely any code to write:
for line in my_file: ...
For even more convenience in common cases, there is the fileinput module[1] in the standard library.
I can see how a boilerplate-generating AI could be helpful in a more boilerplate-heavy language like Java, but a better solution is to use a language that better suits your usecase and lets you express it without the boilerplate.
