Should be fle.close(), you need the parentheses to make a function call. > Now I have two problems > > 1) the file c:\321.txt (which does exist) never gets written to.

Assuming that there are some results, it is probably the lack of a proper close that is the problem. > > 2) if any of the function calls from amazon.py, such as book.UsedPrice > fails then the rest of the details that may well have been retreived for > that get lost in the jump to the except block.

Instead of book.UsedPrice you can say getattr(book, 'UsedPrice', 'none') which will return the string 'none' if the attribute is not available. > Also, a point of nettiquette for this list - how do I say thanks to > people - not to the list, but in direct emails?
