Does this actually work?
I didn't think you could open files as reading and writing?

also you're shadowing the 'file' var, which might be confusing to beginners,
as it's not the same file as in the outer for loop.
Also, 'with' is a 3.0 keyword, right?  That's pretty interesting syntax,
I've never seen it before, but I haven't used 3.x yet.

Also, you didn't define 'output' anywhere.  Is this an implicit declaration
via the 'with' syntax?

Thanks,
