How to write to a new line every time in python?
Question: I'm just trying to append new tweets that come in to a new line in a file....
So far nothing i'm trying works on OS X Python.

    
    
      class CustomStreamListener(tweepy.StreamListener):
          def on_status(self, status):
              print status.text
    
              with open("myNewFile", "a") as file:
              file.write('\n')
              file.write("\n" + status.text + "\n")
              file.write('\n')
    

Any ideas?


Answer: You have an issue with indentation:

    
    
      with open("myNewFile", "a") as file:
      file.write('\n')
      file.write("\n" + status.text + "\n")
      file.write('\n')
    

If you want to be inside the `with` context, you should indent the following
three lines to the right.

Further, you can use `format()` to prepare the string you want to write, for
efficiency and readibility:

    
    
      import os
      with open("myNewFile", "a") as file:
          file.write('{0}{0} {1} {0}{0}'.format(os.linesep, status.text)
          #file.write('\n')
          #file.write("\n" + status.text + "\n")
          #file.write('\n')
    

Note the `os.linesep` to insert an OS independent new line :).

You can also write two `linesep` by repeating them twice (multiply the string
by 2):

    
    
    file.write('{0} {1} {0}'.format(os.linesep * 2, status.text)
    

Which is cleaner.
