markryde at gmail.com enlightened us with:
> myFile = '/work/output1'
> myFile = myFile.join(today)
> myFile = myFile.join(".txt")

join does something completely different. You want:

myFile = '/work/output1/%s.txt' % today

capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
