I'm using Netbeans to write python, and I had it so that I could append a file (in Eclipse) with file = open('dir\file', 'a') so I could append a file, but I get this:
aifc.Error: mode must be 'r', 'rb', 'w', or 'wb'
I don't want to have to read the file, save either to array or temp file and then rewrite. What's going on?
Note: I get the same thing in Command Prompt, which seems weird to me.
Also, I know my interpreter is configured properly and everything is in the python34 folder (namely python34\Lib\site-packages)
Full error message on run:
Running...

aifc.Error: mode must be 'r', 'rb', 'w', or 'wb'
That error is coming from the aifc module. aifc.open only supports the r, rb, w, and wb modes. Are you calling from aifc import * somewhere in your script? If so, don't do that! It's shadowing the built-in open with aifc.open. Only import the functions you need from aifc.
