That's not what he meant.  He meant:

jsfile = open("../timeline.js", "r")
jscontent = jsfile.readlines()
jsfile.close()
jsfile = open("../timeline.js", "w")
...etc...

You have to decide whether this makes more sense to you than the
seek/truncate solution.  Personally, I'd prefer the close/open.

Or even:

jscontent = open("../timeline.js", "r").readlines()
jsfile = open("../timeline.js", "w")
... etc ...
