Python : writing to a file

[Dave Angel]

You accidentally did a Reply instead of a Reply-List.  So the email came 
to me and not to the list.  if your mail program doesn't support 
reply-list, do a reply-all and remove the personal addresses.  The list 
is what's important here.

You chopped off the output there.  It probably looked like this:


node-1# cat test_2.txt
Sundaynode-1#


Your output is there, right before the prompt.  Since you neglected the 
newline in your code, that's what you'd expect, wouldn't you?

Incidentally, in most systems that prompt would mean you're running as 
root.  Bad idea, especially when you're learning to program.
