Hello, Sorry to be dense, but I'm having trouble writing to a file...
I have a list of book numbers - ISBNs in a file, one per line... (see list at bottom of this message) my code below... import amazon amazon.setLicense(' -- my amazon id is in here when I run - ') isbn_list = "c:\\ISBN.txt" amazon.setLocale("uk") fle=open("c:\\321.txt",'a') for isbn in file(isbn_list): isbn = isbn.strip() try: books=amazon.searchByKeyword(isbn) except: x=1 for book in books: try: Title = book.ProductName printstring = isbn + "\t" + book.ProductName + "\t" + book.Authors.Author + "\tUsed from...\t" + book.UsedPrice + "\tNew price\t" + book.OurPrice print printstring print printstring >> fle except: ignorance='notBliss' fle.close Now I have two problems 1) the file c:\321.txt (which does exist) never gets written to. I also tried using fle.write(printstring) and fle.writeline(printstring) but they didn't do anything either. 2) if any of the function calls from amazon.py, such as book.UsedPricefails then the rest of the details that may well have been retreived for that get lost in the jump to the except block. I'd really like to get whatever info I can on the printstring assignment line and ignore any errors, perhaps substituting 'none' instead of a retrieved value. Any help very appreciated. Also, a point of nettiquette for this list - how do I say thanks to people - not to the list, but in direct emails? Thanks all, Rob ==the ISBNs from my file === 0006755151 059304083X 0349112150 0141030143 0099740915 0552773123 0747590087 0571224121 0552997706 0099490730 0141009128 0670852473 0044409672 0722540523 0375720979 1862074534 0571169945 08685506 0330481886 0333618815 057120273X 0099526409 0753509024 0099476649 0316857912 0007179731 014027443X 000637977X 1568360231 1844832007 1844832058 1844832023 1846270057 0810112434 0141022280 0552152293
