In general consider the w+ file option to be for advanced use only.
Either open it for reading or writing, don't try to do both at the same
time. It's a bit like sitting on a tree branch with a saw to cut it
down. If you cut on the wrong side you get hurt...
new_file.write(*****)
print(new_file.read())
This won't read anything because the file cursor is at the end of the
string that you wrote (remember the branch illustration?)
new_file.close()
And this just closes the file with a short line of asterisks in it...
Not really what you want.
