Answer 1

Here is your answer:

Python Print String To Text File

If you write python code and not a shell script, I guess you want to use python built-in functions to manage your files.

Answer 2

I just has a similar issue on a server with php code. I edited the files as root, but then the web server could not write to the file.

The issue is that Apache (or your web server) does not have read/write access. like as a Group owner to the file/folder

Setting the GROUP permission, and set the folder so the web server has full read/write access too.
