Super-newbie syntax error question

[Charlie Wood]

I have some code that I've cobbled together, and have just introduced a
syntax error. I've read through the docs, done lots of trial and error, and
I'm left scratching my head. Any ideas?

Here's the code:

    def endElement(self, name):
        if self._parent == "item":
            if name == "title":
                self._title = self._text
            elif name == "link":
                self._link = self._text
            elif name == "description":
                self._descr = self._text
            elif name == "category":
                self._category = self._text
            elif name == "item":
                if not self._list_started:
                    self._out.write("\n")
                    self._list_started = 1

                self._out.write('%s: %s\n%s\n%s\n\n' %
                                (self._category, self._title, self._descr,
self._link))

    f = file("/article.txt", "w")
    f.write('Category: %s\nTitle: %s\nDescription: %s\nLink: %s\n\n' %
      (self._category, self._title, self._descr, self._link))
    f.close()

                self._title = None
                self._link = None
                self._descr = ""
                self._category = ""



...and here's the resulting error:



Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\PYTHON22\lib\rss2html.py", line 46
    f = file("/article.txt", "w")
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax



Your kindness is appreciated.
