how to have python create a file such as 'neta-inf.txt'. I am trying to self teach the language of python to my self sorry if this is a trivial question

http://docs.python.o...d-writing-files

file = open('neta-inf.txt', 'w')

You could use the 'a' flag instead of 'w' to write to the file without erasing its current contents and still create it if it doesn't exist.

Just look around at the python docs or any of the books and tutorials that are around for free.

Enjoy mate.

Just to go a little more indepth so you can save some stuff in a file and then print it out.

#Open the file for writing to it.

strings = open("neta-inf.txt", 'w')
strings.write("man")
strings.write("\n")
strings.write("hey")
strings.write("\n")
strings.write("radio")
strings.write("\n")

#close the file
strings.close()

#Open the file to read from it.

strings = open("neta-inf.txt", 'r')
for line in strings:
    print line

#always close a file after use to preserve the integrity of the file contents. 
strings.close()
