[Tutor] Hello new to python and the mailing list, need some help

  Hi Kevin,

  Escape codes are special characters used in strings to represent things
which we find hard to put into simple letters.
  For example, the escape code for a newline is `\n'.  So,

print '\n'

  will actually print *two* blank lines.  There is a little inconsistency
with Python's file handling in that the print command will automatically add
a newline after any output, but a file.write(..) will not.

  As a further hint, string concatenation is formed with the `+' operator.
So that

d = 'dog'
c = 'cat'
s = c+d
print s // 'catdog'

  Now, I'm sure you can figure out how to get newlines into your file :).

Hello, I am new to python and need a little help. I am trying to write to a
file but wich i can the only problem that I have is that Each raw_input I
want to write to a seperate line so that it will print on the screen like
this:

Kevin
27
Male

right now it just prints to the screen like this:
Kevin27Male
here is the code that I did:
NAME = raw_input("What is your name? ")
AGE = raw_input ("What is your age? ")
SEX = raw_input ("What is your sex? ")

player = open("name.plr", 'w')
player.write (NAME)
player.write (AGE)
player.write (SEX)
player.close()

player = open("name.plr", 'r')
line = player.readline()
player.close()

print line

Thanks for any help
