By the way, alternative options would be:
>> append = True
>> append and 'a' or 'w'
'a'
>> append = False
>> append and 'a' or 'w'
'w'
Of course, the
>> 'a' if append else 'w'
is nicer, but has only been supported for python 2.5+.
An alternative, third, method, would be
>> append = True
>> ['w', 'a'][append]
'a'
>> append = False
>> ['w', 'a'][append]
'w'
No reason to change the working code, of course, but just possibilies to
keep in mind.
