Sorry, completely off topic, I just had to post this.
Python:
int( file("foo.txt").read() )

Show-off!
You forgot to catch the exception of the file not opening. Where's your deadParrot() error-handling function?

Reading whole file in memory just to parse int from it's first line is very funny :)
You'll need a longer version like this
(File.open('foo.txt') {|f| f.readline}).to_i rescue deadParrot
