f = open(otherFile).readlines()
for i in len(f):
	for c in range(0,24,1):
		if os.name == "posix":
			tempfileName = "\"proctemp/" + self.matrix[c][0] 
+ "_tmp_" + fileName + ".txt\""
   	if re.search(f[i], pattern):
		g = open(tempfileName, 'a')
		g.write(f[i])


This code works *perfectly* unless I put it in a class that inherits from 
threading.Thread.  In the thread class, everything works (I can see the 
"c" value, and I can print out each line in "f[i]", it's just that the g 
= open line doesn't work.
