Because we have print(), which adds the newline, and most other cases either involve lists of stuff (so '\n'.join() is used), or the string comes back from a library and already has newlines, so you just write the string verbatim. Sidenote: file.writelines() seems very misleadingly named. Cheers, Chris -- I have a blog: http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
