You might want to tell us a little more about what it means to "fail";
otherwise, we'll have to flail about a bit.  *grin*


I did catch one thing, though:

Python treats the sequence:

    '\t'

as the Tab character, so that's definitely going to interfere with the
file opening.  To prevent that from happening, try this:

    tempthumb =3D open('.\\medintouch\\images\\testimage.txt', 'w')

or:

    tempthumb =3D open(r'.\medintouch\images\testimage.txt', 'w')

instead; both tell Python to avoid treating the backslash as the start of
an escape character.  The second is the nicer approach: it's called a
"raw" string, and it's useful whenever you want to have backslashes in
your string.

Good luck!
