+TESTS:
+
+The following test, verifying that :issue:`16181` has been resolved, needs
+to stay at the beginning of this file so that its context is not
+poisoned by other tests::
+
+    sage: sage.misc.misc.inject_variable('a', 0)
+    sage: a
+    0
+
+Check the fix from :issue:`8323`::
+
+    sage: 'name' in globals()
+    False
+    sage: 'func' in globals()
+    False

+def try_read(obj, splitlines=False):
+    r"""
+    Determine if a given object is a readable file-like object and if so
+    read and return its contents.
+
+    That is, the object has a callable method named ``read()`` which takes
+    no arguments (except ``self``) then the method is executed and the
+    contents are returned.
+
+    Alternatively, if the ``splitlines=True`` is given, first ``splitlines()``
+    is tried, then if that fails ``read().splitlines()``.
+
+    If either method fails, ``None`` is returned.
+
+    INPUT:
+
+    - ``obj`` -- typically a `file` or `io.BaseIO` object, but any other
+      object with a ``read()`` method is accepted
+
+    - ``splitlines`` -- boolean (default: ``False``); if ``True``, return a
+      list of lines instead of a string
+
+    EXAMPLES::
