Write python file with various asci codes

Question:

I would like to write a python file containing four bytes:

  • A space
  • A tab
  • A carriage return
  • A newline

I’m not able to write it as:

open('file.txt', 'w').write(' trn')

As for whatever reason it’s converting the r into a n. How would I then write this as the asci codes themselves? that is:

NEWLINE = 10
CARRIAGE = 13
SPACE = 32
TAB = 9
open('file.txt','wb').write(bytearray([SPACE, TAB, CARRIAGE, NEWLINE]))

Answers:

Open the file in binary mode and write a byte string.

open('file.txt', 'wb').write(b' trn')
