hi, So am having a odd problem, Whenever i write something thru the open.write, Where there's something that looks like hi, And then a new line, And then my name is something, When i write it thru data=open("filename","w") and then i do data.write(stuffToAdd) when i look into the file, Between the hi and my name is something, The program inserted a extra blank line, And if i take the edited file and write again, The thing doubles it from 1 extra line between lines to 2, And if i do again doubles to 4, And so on, Is there a fix to this?
edit, So an example, Lets say i have this text.
hello there
this is a text
and this a text too.
ok, So after writing.
hello there

this is a text

and this is a text too.

I don't get what you're trying to say. They are the same to me. Did you come up with something like this:

with open("test.txt", mode="w") as f:
    f.write("Hi, how are you \r\n")
    for x in range(1, 11):
        f.write(str(x ** 2) + "\r\n")

My money is on the text editor is displaying \r as a newline, they're writing \n themselves, and it's getting converted to \r\n by Python.  Try this:

open("myfile.txt", "wb")

And see if it does what you want.
