Thanks for the help. I tried doing this: text = 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocius' open('sambleb.conf', 'wb').write(text) Afterwards, I was able to successfully open the file with a text editor and it showed: 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocius' I am hoping to have it show up some weird un-readable text. And then of course be able to convert it right back to a string. Is this even possible? Thanks, Harlin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
