[Tutor] wheel.py

[Kirk Bailey]

Actually, not really, as if it's written right there are no such errors, and to
do what you sugegest, it still  has to rewrite the file, and if there are
errors, it will write errors. But I DID have the idea of looping the wheel,
writing it out again to the file FROM THE NEXT ITEM FIRST TO THE ONE JUST
PRINTED OUT AS LAST, dispensing with the counter altogether. It actually would
ROTATE the data through the physical file's sequence one spoke at a time.
