IOError on file close

[Michael S. Fischer]

Greetings,

Can anyone tell me why this is happening?  (Python 2.1.2 on Debian Linux)

>>> fp = open("/proc/scsi/scsi","w")
>>> fp.write("scsi add-single-device 0 0 1 0\n")
>>> fp.close()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  IOError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented
>>> fp
<closed file '/proc/scsi/scsi', mode 'w' at 0x8086530>
>>> fp.close()
>>>

Thanks,
