io - writing Beautiful Soup output to a file -


okay i'm having issue writing extracted information want file. tested simple print statement , giving exact output want. however. when attempt write information file writes nothing , file shows empty

the input wiki file in xml format , list of strings corresponding page titles wish pull out of wiki file. here code, page_titles list ['anarchism','adam , eve', ...] :

new_wiki = open('new_wiki.xml', 'w') soup = beautifulsoup(wiki) wiki_page = soup.find_all('page') item in wiki_page:   title = item.title.get_text()   if title in page_titles:     new_wiki.write('\n' % (item)) 

this might sound silly, did forget new_wiki.close()?
