newbie file writing

[Adrian Eyre]

> inbox = open('inbox','w')
> tempinbox = server.retr(numMsgs)

This function is returning None.

> inbox.write(tempinbox)
> 
> I get the following error:

> Traceback (innermost last):

> TypeError: read-only buffer, None

as it says here.

Change it to something like:

tempinbox = server.retr(numMsgs)
if not tempinbox is None:
	assert type(tempinbox) == type("")
	open('inbox', 'w').write(tempinbox)
