First, what version of python are you using? 2.4.2 (and some previous
versions) use file() instead of open(), although open may still work.

also, if your code in the previous post is still using:

outputFname = given + '.log'
outputFile = open(os.path.join(xrefs,outputFname), 'w')
I hope you have 'given' defined somewhere, since it's not in the code
you show.

give this a try:

output = file(xrefs + r'\filenamewhatever', 'w')
output.write(data)
output.close()
