Yes. They do not. They are opening one by one. 
I have some big chunk of data I am getting by crawling etc.
now as I run the code it is fetching data. 
I am trying to fetch the data from various sites.
The contents of the file are getting getting stored in 
separate files. 
For example, if I open the site of "http://www.theguardian.com/international", then the result may be stored in file in file "file1.txt", and the contents of site "http://edition.cnn.com/", may be stored in file "file2.txt". 

But the contents of each site changes everyday. So everyday as you open these sites and store the results, you should store in different text files. These text files I am looking to be created on its own, as you do not know its numbers, how many numbers you need to fetch the data. 

I am trying to do some results with import datetime as datetime.datetime.now()
may change everytime. I am trying to put it as name of file. But you may suggest better.
