Question

Is there any simpler way for writing a string to a file than this:

f = open("test.txt", "w+")
f.write("test")
f.close()

I wish the return value of write was not None so that I could do this:

open("test.txt", "w+").write("test").close()

Answer 1

with open("test.txt", "w") as f_out:
    f_out.write(your_string)

When you use with open, you don’t need to do f_out.close(); this is done for you automatically.
