Assuming output is a file object, what you say is not possible. Here's
a demonstration that your code above produces a file without quotes
around custfile.
=== start demo ===
C:\junk>type foo.txt
The system cannot find the file specified.
C:\junk>type len_demo.py
output = open('foo.txt', 'w')
filename = 'custfile'
codeline = filename + ' = [\n'
print 'repr(codeline) is', repr(codeline)
output.write(codeline)
C:\junk>python len_demo.py
repr(codeline) is 'custfile = [\n'
C:\junk>type foo.txt
custfile = [
C:\junk>
=== end demo ===
I suggest that you remove the output file, and try your program again.
Check that you are not running some obsolete version of your program.
If this code is in an imported module, remove any related .pyc
and .pyo files before you start.
HTH,
John
