Please check your examples before further confusing an already
confused poster.
You -cannot- assign within a function call. What you're doing there is
claiming line is a keyword argument:
>>> f = open('dummy.txt','w')
>>> f.write(line = 'this doesn't work')
File "<stdin>", line 1
f.write(line = 'this doesn't work')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
What you meant, of course, was:
>>> f.write(line[:22] + "A" + line[23:])
