Well, not to be rude, but that's quite a spaghetti code, some of the
guilt, however, was for the mailing program that cuts 80+ lines.
Others was the use of things like "for i in range(len(f)):" or "if (a
== True)".
Try checking whether you're trying to write to a path like r"\dir
\file.txt" or r"dir\file.txt" instead of r"C:\dir\file.txt" in
Windows.
If that doesn't solve the problem, tell us a few things:
- Any error messages? Or simply nothing is written out?
- Has a blank file get created?
