Ok, good, that helps a lot: that's exactly what we need to diagnose the problem. There appears to be something funky that happens with append-plus mode. This problem has come up before on the list: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/python-tutor/2961494 In general, any of the '+' modes on a Windows platform is slightly broken. See: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2006-September/049511.html for approaches that people suggest to avoid "plus" mode issues. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
