using f.read('test','r+')
I get the existing data, and the
f.write('testing')
successfully appends the text in the file.
The 'a+' mode works as described, i.e. I need to f.seek(0) to read the
data.
I am now enlightened as to the usefulness of 'r+', as it starts the
read fp at the begining of the file.
