You're missing a space here --^

As Matt has already replied, you can add a "\n" at the end of each
string.  Or you can use the print statement, as it adds newlines
automatically:

  ...
  f = open(dirpath, 'w')
  print >> f, 'AuthType Basic'
  print >> f, 'AuthName "Password Required"'
  print >> f, 'AuthUserFile ' + dirpwd
  print >> f, 'Require user ' + username

'AuthName "Password Required"'

Or "AuthName \"Password Required\"" (but it looks clumsier).
