cannot write to file after close()

[Rainer Hubovsky]

Hello Python-Gurus,

==========================
f = open(LOGFILE,'w')
f.write(time + '\n')
f.close

command = 'ping -n 20' + target + '>>' + LOGFILE
system(command)
==========================

produces an error saying that a file cannot be accessed because it is used
by another process. I asume it is f which is used but don't understand why.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
  Rainer
