Sorry, I didn't know what to make of the "the proper code after 'with
open'". I should have asked. I assumed you still had a statement
there, like what you had before, i.e. f.writelines(self.log_array).

Compound statements (if/elif/else, try/except/finally, while, for,
with, def, class) have a colon followed by one (not zero) or more
statements. A simple statement can go on the same line after the
colon. Otherwise use an indented block. In this case you can simply
use:

    with open(mypath, "a") as f: pass
