I don't believe you.  I think you have something like

    g = open('fileName', 'a')

instead of (as you claim)

    g = open(fileName, 'a')

Do you see the difference?  

Develop the skill of reading the error messages *very* carefully.  Your error says there is no file named "fileName", and if you think about what's on your disk, I'll bet you won't find a file whose name is "fileName".
