Lesson Title: Working with Text Files in Python
System: Windows
Software: Komodo Edit 12, Python 3.8.5
Steps:
I am trying to do: Creating and Writing to a Text File
I enter into Komodo:

file-output.py

f = open('helloworld.txt','wb')
f.write('hello world')
f.close()

I save the file as file-output.py
I "Run Python"

Returns the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "file-output.py", line 3, in

Relevant earlier ticket: #1611 (this may be a mac vs pc problem)

This is a duplicate of #1777, which I think we were looking to hire a bug tester to look at?

Thanks @jakubow we have someone taking a look at the matter. I hope you're able to adapt the examples as you go through in the meantime.
