"Write to a file" question please?

[Olivier Dagenais]

Make this adjustement:

OUT.write ("Number = %d" % number)

I just tried it, and it works.  My guess is the rules for write are
different than for print, so what appears to be a string concatenation in
print might just be a sequence type of some sort.  (sorry, I learned Python
this weekend, that's the best I can do in explaining it)

You can also use:

OUT.write ("Number =" + str(number))

...which might be more what you're looking for.
