Data not flushed at the moment

[MindClass]

I've to modifying a file, then I use a method imported that access to
that file and has to read the new data, but they are not read ( as if
the data were not flushed at the moment even using .close()
explicitly).

---------------------------------------
...
...
# If it is not installed, it looking for the line and insert it.
if not is_application:
print "Activating I18n application ..."
writefile_line = 0
a = fileinput.input (settings, inplace=1)
# for line in fileinput.input (settings, inplace=1):
for line in a:
writefile_line += 1
if writefile_line == readfile_line:
print " '%s'," % application_nam e
print line[:-1]
else:
print line[:-1]
a.close()

update()

def update():
# Update the data base.
try:
from django.core.man agement import syncdb
except ImportError, err:
print "Can't import from Django: %s" % err
sys.exit(1)

syncdb()
---------------------------------------

Note that it only fails if the update() method is run inner of 'if not
is_application' , and I don't understand because it is happening so. But
the problem is that I need run it when that condition is performed. Any
idea?

Here it's very well explained:
http://groups.google.com/group/djang...cb01ec38e7e6cd

syncdb() method:
http://code.djangoproject.com/browse...gement.py#L435

But I'm not sure if is a django problem or from python.
