AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'write'

6 New Member
OS is Ubuntu Linux 9.10/Python Version is 2.6.4/Gui Tool is Dr. Python

My program has a large html-coded string called tarr_record. When I try to open an output file and write the record to the file, I receive the following error:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'write'

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. open(output_file, "a")
  2.         output_file.write(tarr_record + "\n")
  3.         output_file.close()
  4.

Assign the open file object to an identifier. Call method write() on the identifier then close().
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. fileObj = open(output_file, "a")
  2. fileObj.write(tarr_record + "\n")
  3. fileObj.close()
