I am a very new user to python, but I thought I picked it up pretty
quickly. The code I have been using has been working for several
months now. I recently reorganized the modules (placement in the .py
file) and renamed some variables (nothing fancy) and I now get an
error from the following code:


class effect:
...

def render():
...
self.createViewFile("0000.vf")
...

def createViewFile(self, filename):
f = open(filename, "w")
f.write("rview")
f.close()

...


The error is on the "open" function. It reads:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 726, in __call__
return apply(self.func, args)
File "/usr/people/mjboyles/effect/bin/effectGUI.py", line 156, in render
self.menuListener.render()
File "effect.py", line 423, in render
f = open(("%s.vf" % name), 'w')
TypeError: illegal argument type for built-in operation


Any suggestions? I have no idea about the error. When I try the
function during regular interperator mode from the prompt, it works
fine. Is there a description about the possible python errors
somewhere?

Thanks in advance...
