Neither am I.
Are you sure the code you posted is exactly what you are 
running?
You don't perchance have an else clause for the file output, 
like this:

if s.find('Spam'):
    ....do stuff...
else:
   file.write(s)

If so then the line containing spam won't get written....

Its all I can think of!
