How to append to a file with Python?
To append to a file with Python, we can open the file with open with append permission.
And then we call write with the string to append to the file.
For instance, we write:
with open("foo.txt", "a") as myfile:
myfile.write("appended text")
We call open with the path to the file and 'a' to open the file with append permission.
Then we call write with the string to append to the opened file.
Since we use the with statement to open the file, the file will be closed automatically after the append operation is done.
