So what you want to do is store each day's results in a new file, so probably you want to create a filename that looks something like an iso 8601 date. Luckily for you python has this functionality available: https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#date-objects $ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Feb 27 2014, 19:58:35) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from datetime import date >>> fn = date.today().isoformat() + ".log" >>> print fn 2014-07-10.log >>> quit() $ Once you have a string containing your filename, you might use: fp = open( fn, "w" ) fp.write( data ) fp.close() -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
