str: String to be written in the file.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python
# Open a file
fo = open("foo.txt", "rw+")
print "Name of the file: ", fo.name
# Assuming file has following 5 lines
# This is 1st line
# This is 2nd line
# This is 3rd line
# This is 4th line
# This is 5th line
str = "This is 6th line"
# Write a line at the end of the file.
fo.seek(0, 2)
line = fo.write( str )
# Now read complete file from beginning.
fo.seek(0,0)
for index in range(6):
line = fo.next()
print "Line No %d - %s" % (index, line)
# Close opend file
fo.close()

Line No 3 - This is 4th line
