Hi Mihai,
The error says it all. You cant concatenate a string to a list
[1,2,3,4,5] + '\n',
Try [1,2,3,4,5] + '\n' in the interpretor, you ll get the same error.
write() doesn't know what to do with a list as [i think] it will only
handle strings.
If you wrap your list in str() for writing, that should do the trick
Wouldn't hurt to wrap timeMark in str() also, unless your positive that
the keys will always be strings
store.write(str(timeMark) + '\n')
store.write(str(aList) + '\n')
HTH
Good Luck,
Glenn
