What happened?  I'm not seeing any exception information.  I do see code
that doesn't quite make sense.

Do you know what actually gets written? IE do you know what the
resulting text file looks like?

This function isn't right.  Question for you, what does open() return?
And if you assign that to "the_array," what makes you think you can
dereference open() as it it were an array?  open() does not provide a
__getitem__() dunder method.

Python is pretty good at doing what you want usually, but you're missing
a step.  Python's not bug-free, but the first suspect in a case like
this is your code.

There's an outside chance you want to explore the "pickle" module.
