Python Save to file

Question

I would like to save a string to a file with a python program named Failed.py

Here is what I have so far:

myFile = open('today','r')  ips = {}  for line in myFile:     parts = line.split(' ')     if parts[1] == 'Failure':         if parts[0] in ips:             ips[pars[0]] += 1         else:             ips[parts[0]] = 0  for ip in [k for k, v in ips.iteritems() if v >=5]:     #write to file called Failed.py 

Answer 1

file = open('Failed.py', 'w') file.write('whatever') file.close() 

Here is a more pythonic version, which automatically closes the file, even if there was an exception in the wrapped block:

with open('Failed.py', 'w') as file:     file.write('whatever')
