Using seek() will not prepend it will overwrite! To prepend you will have to write out your preamble then append the existing data to that. There is no random access mechanism in Python other than seek() You can't create fixed length records and navigate through them as you can in some other languages. (you can of course use format strings to fake this but its messier than true random record access) Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
