• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

use 'a' instead of 'w'

'a' = append mode

[mighty lark]

oh okay

[green junco]

'w' = write mode

[green junco]

better yet, you should be using the logging module

!d logging

logging

Source code: Lib/logging/__init__.py...

Similar names: discordpy.logging, pytest.logging, rich.label.logging, rich.doc.logging, disnake.logging, flask.logging, arcade.logging, aiohttp.logging, nextcord.logging

You can then specify how it should be logging down those distances and in a proper date time format: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html#logging-basic-tutorial

This table should help you understand what different modes do.
