You don't need the sys module for file I/O.

"file" is a str object containing the string "myfile.txt". What you need
to do is catch the return value (a file object) of the open() function and
use that for writing:

file = "myfile.txt"
fh = open(file, "r+") ## Do you need "b" (binary) for a text file?
fh.write("something")
fh.close()
