It's because the builtin function open can only open a file in your filesystem and not an url. If you want to rewrite a file in your website, you should first write a file in your local file system and then use ftp or some other protocol to copy the file to your website.

It could work if you pass a file path to open, like
uni_project/log.txt , but nothing that starts whith http://. Last edited by Gribouillis; Jan 23rd, 2009 at 9:25 am.

Did you try something like
"../uni_project/log.txt" ? Also you could use os.getcwd() in your program to see the path to the current dir. It would help build a relative path to your file. Last edited by Gribouillis; Jan 23rd, 2009 at 9:55 am.
