[Tutor] Late Introduction

[Jacob S.]

Hello again!

    What I actually meant was to send a text file to a printer connected to
a parallel or usb port. I happen to know that I could dynamically write a
batch file that would print the particular file and use os.startfile() to
run it. However, recently I noticed that one of the modules has functions
for executing one line command line commands. So I could probably skip the
batch command. (It would look something like this "myfile.txt > lpt1".
Anyway, I was looking for something that would skip the use of command line
commands and just use a python function instead.
    Thanks for the interesting new way to write to a file though. I have
been using just things like,

>>> a = open("myfile.txt","w")
>>> stri = "Hello world, how are you today? "      # I use stri as the
variable because string and str are potentially reserved words.
>>> a.write(stri)
>>> a.close()
>>>

I thank you again for the print >>myfile,"This is a test. Hello world. "
