Can you send the full error text please? I'm not sure which 
is line 55 and Python normally displays the faulty line as 
part of the error trace.

As it is I can't see any reason for it to fail but I'd like to 
be sure I'm looking at the right place!

Also is there any reason why you explicitly call io.open() 
instead of just using the built-in open() directly? I know 
they are the same function but its quite unusual to use 
the io version explicitly...
