Python newbie with a problem writing files

Oooh, oooh, I know!  If you rot13 the file-name, it comes back as 
"srrq_yvfgvat.pbas".  The double "r"s in the file-name instruct 
python to open the file as "really read-only".  And the .pbas 
means you need to be opening the file with python-basic, not python.
