Please try:

logfile=file(r'test.txt','w+')
logfile.write('datetime')

Check the contents of test.txt, you will get what ever was required...

Now Run:

logfile=file(r'test.txt','w+')
logfile.write('datetime')
logfile.readlines()

and check the contents of test.txt???
My doubt is that logfile.write('datetime') will write datetime that is
universaly accepted but why all that junk is appending to that when I
add logfile.readlines()

Strange or Am I on drugs??? :o)

Please Comment...
