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.
