Python path and append

[Joaquin Alzola]

Strip() = white spaces.
Description
The method strip() returns a copy of the string in which all chars have been stripped from the beginning and the end of the string (default whitespace characters).

Use to remove return carriage--> line[:-1]

I was reading that.  I have read it before.  I don't use python enough to even remember the simple stuff.  Then when I try to use if for something simple I forget how.

f = open('wout.txt', 'r+')
for line in f:
    line=line.strip()
    f.write(line+" *")
f.close()

Still broke.  How about just telling me where I missed?  Please?
