<div class="h5">Dear Group,<br><br>I am using Python2.6 and has created a file where I like to write some<br>statistical values I am generating. The statistical values are<br>generating in a nice way, but as I am going to write it, it is not<br>

It might be a buffering problem (although when the file closes, I think buffers get flushed), else it's really weird...<br><br>Regards,<br><font color="#888888">pascal<br><br></font></blockquote></div><br>
