I want to modify my python code to append new required users to my .htaccess file

So my logic is: ... -- This is what my code looks like -- def createUser(username, basedir): import os dirpath = "/var/www/html/da/" + basedir + "/.htaccess" dirpwd = "/var/www/html/da/" + basedir + "/.htpasswd" ...

So what is your question? I suggest using os.path functions to build up your paths rather than directly coding them as you have done. That way the paths port to other operating systems. Cheers, Tom P
