That's a little confusing, I think. I think you meant "try with 'a' and if there is an exception ... create ... with 'w'" but that shouldn't be necessary anyway. Opening a file with 'a' will append to an existing file, or create a new file if one doesn't exist already. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
