Rename your http.py file to "my-http-test.py" and retry.
Then its name won't get in the way of the library name.

cause you have opened the file in 'a' mode you should not need the
.seek() - an "append" mode file will always write to the end of the
file.
So: your first problem only requires a .flush(), to empty the buffer
before "echo" or "ls" runs. However, you still hav
s usualy a bad
idea to catch broad things like "Exception". It is normally better to
place try/except around very small pieces of code and to catch very
specific things. That way you know exactly what's going wrong and don't
quietly catch all sorts of unplanned stuff.

nd never waits for them _is_
bad in the long run. Process ids are often 2-byte integers on many
systems for it's quite feasible to fill the table, and depending on the
kernel's process table implementation a big process table might have other
performance side effects.
