No, but you do need to initialize outfile appropriately.  The error 
(next time post the entire traceback please -- it provides the specifics 
you'll need to fix the bug) tells you that 'outfile is not defined'

If you set outfile to a writable file object you'll get it going.  Look 
at the 'open' documentation.

HTH,
