This code is ok for my work.

user="myname"
userCode="1987987981"
import re
import fileinput, string, sys
##f = open('userCodes.txt', 'rw')
 ##print f
##f = open('userCodes.txt', 'r+')
f= file('userCodes.txt')
##print f
    ###scorro le linee del file
newlines=[]
for line in f:
            if user in line:  
                print 'prima raplace ' + str(line)
                line = line.replace(line, user + ',' + str(userCode) + '\n')
                print 'dopo replace ' + str(line)
            newlines.append(line)
outfile=file('userCodes.txt','w')
outfile.writelines(newlines)

            newlines.append(line)
outfile=file('userCodes.txt','w')
outfile.writelines(newlines)

a little refinement

user="myname"
userCode="1987987981"
for line in open('userCodes.txt'):
            line = line.strip() 
            if user in line:                  
                line = line.replace(line, user + ',' + str(userCode) + '\n')
                print line
 

you are only generating one output file right? you can save some code by just printing to stdout. then when you execute the script on your OS ,

# python yourscript.py > output.txt

Thank's ghostdog74,
i have multiple code to write in file.txt when the user change or delete your accont.
In the test user and userCodes, is defined for semplify my work, but in the real script user and userCodes appartein at the user logged in.
If the user not exist in database also new line in the file .

Again sorry for my english.

sorry don't understand, but anyway, to output to different files in your script, use the method of opening files with "a" or "w" and write the data to it
eg

f = open("file","a")
f.write("a string\n")
f.close()
 

or just simply

open("file","a').write("a string\n")
