you cannot insert or delete stuff in files in contemporary operating systems; all you can do is to overwrite parts of the file, or add/remove stuff at the end of the file. to change a file in any other way, you have to create a new file (either by loading the old file into memory, or by copying the contents of the old file to a new temporary file, and removing/renaming the files when you're done) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
