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.

Best regards,
