[Zope] Appending to a file in Python

[Laura McCord]

Oh, I had seen the append function being used in some examples through
my google search. So I assumed that append was a built-in function. 

Thanks, I'll try write()

That's because python file objects really do not have an 
append method :-) Try the write method instead.
 
It's good to get familiar with the Python docs, particularly the
standard library reference: http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html
In this case, under "built-in types", you will find this:
http://docs.python.org/lib/bltin-file-objects.html
