Hi Subhabrata,

You can use open(name, 'w'), which creates the file if the file does not
exist, but it will truncate the existing file. Alternatively, you can use
open(name, 'a'); this will create the file if the file does not exist, but
will not truncate the existing file.

Ref.: open() <https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#open>

Regards,
Shubham
