How do I append text to a file with python?

Question

I am trying to make a file that I can continuously add '../' to. My code is as follows:

with open("/tmp/newfile.txt", "a+") as myfile: myfile.write('../') contents = myfile.read() print(contents)

However, when I run this code it returns <empty>

For Append File:

with open("newfile.txt", "a+") as file: file.write("I am adding in more lines\n") file.write("And more…")

For Read File:

with open('newfile.txt') as f: lines = f.readlines() print(lines)
