Python adds a double entry at the end of output file

This is my code to create a hashtag file. The issue is it does not put the # for the first hashtag and at he end it puts a double hashtag like below.
passiveincome, #onlinemarketing, #wahmlife, #cash, #entrepreneurlifestyle, #makemoneyonline, #makemoneyfast, #entrepreneurlifestyle, #mlm, #mlm
How do I get the code to remove the double output and put the # at the beginning?
import random, os, sys
basepath = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) + "/"
outputpath = "C:/Users/matth/OneDrive/Desktop/Create hashtags/"
paragraphsmin = 9
paragraphsmax = 9
sentencemin = 1
sentencemax = 1
keywords = []
for line in open(basepath + "/base.txt", "r"):
keywords.append(line.replace("\n",""))
keywordlist = []
keyword = open(basepath + "/text-original.txt", "r")
for line in keyword:
keywordlist.append(line.replace("\n", "\n"))
def type(name):
value = name[random.randint(0,len(name)-1)]
return value
"""
def xyz(num):
s1 = '' + type(keywordlist).strip()
return eval('s' + str(num))
"""
def s1():
return '' + type(keywordlist).strip()
def randomSentence():
sent = eval("s" + str(random.randint(1,1)) + "()")
return sent
for keyword in keywords:
outputfile = open(outputpath + keyword.replace(" ", " ") + ".txt", "w")
outputfile.write('')
for p in range(1,random.randint(paragraphsmin,paragraphsmax) + 1):
outputfile.write('')
for s in range(1,random.randint(sentencemin,sentencemax) + 1):
sentence = randomSentence()
if str(sentence)[0] == "\"":
outputfile.write("" + str(sentence)[0] + str(sentence)[1] + str(sentence)[2:] + " ")
else:
outputfile.write("" + str(sentence)[0] + str(sentence)[1:] + ", #")
outputfile.write('')
outputfile.write(sentence.replace("", "") + "")
outputfile.close()

Try replacing
outputfile.write("" + str(sentence)[0] + str(sentence)[1:] + ", #")
with
outputfile.write("#" + str(sentence)[0] + str(sentence)[1:] + ", ")

Why does my Python XML parser break after the first file?

I am working on a Python (3) XML parser that should extract the text content of specific nodes from every xml file within a folder. Then, the script should write the collected data into a tab-separated text file. So far, all the functions seem to be working. The script returns all the information that I want from the first file, but it always breaks, I believe, when it starts to parse the second file.
When it breaks, it returns "TypeError: 'str' object is not callable." I've checked the second file and found that the functions work just as well on that as the first file when I remove the first file from the folder. I'm very new to Python/XML. Any advice, help, or useful links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You are overwriting your function calls with the values they returned. changing the function names should fix it.

Parsing dynamic arabic character xml in python

This is the code. However, this code can only parse 4 characters of Arabian only. I want it to parse dynamically. So, the number of characters does not matter. Therefore, it can parse 1 character, 2 character or more based on the number of existing characters.
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import os, glob
import csv
from time import time
#read xml path
xml_path = glob.glob('D:\1. Thesis FINISH!!!\*.xml')
#create file declaration for saving the result
file = open("parsing.csv","w")
#file = open("./%s" % ('parsing.csv'), 'w')
#create variable of starting time
t0=time()
#create file header
file.write('wordImage_id'+'|'+'paw1'+'|'+'paw2'+'|' + 'paw3' + '|' + 'paw4' + '|'+'font_size'+'|'+'font_style'+
'|'+'font_name'+'|'+'specs_effect'+'|'+'specs_height'+'|'+'specs_height'
+'|'+'specs_width'+'|'+'specs_encoding'+'|'+'generation_filtering'+
'|'+'generation_renderer'+'|'+'generation_type' + '\n')
for doc in xml_path:
print 'Reading file - ', os.path.basename(doc)
tree = ET.parse(doc)
#tree = ET.parse('D:\1. Thesis FINISH!!!\Image_14_AdvertisingBold_13.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
#get wordimage id

#get paw 1 and paw 2

How to encrypt a .bin file

I need to encrypt 3 .bin files which contain 2 keys for Diffie-Hellman. I have no clue how to do that, all I could think of was what I did in the following Python file. I have an example what the output should look like but my code doesn't seem to produce the right keys. The output file server.ini is used by a client to connect to a server.
import base64
fileList = [['game_key.bin', 'Game'], ['gate_key.bin', 'Gate'], ['auth_key.bin', 'Auth']]
iniList = []
for i in fileList:
file = open(i[0], 'rb')
n = list(file.read(64))
x = list(file.read(64))
file.close()
n.reverse()
x.reverse()
iniList.append(['Server.' + i[1] + '.N "' + base64.b64encode("".join(n)) + '"\n', 'Server.' + i[1] + '.X "' + base64.b64encode("".join(x)) + '"\n'])
iniList[0].append('\n')
#time for user Input
ip = '"' + raw_input('Hostname: ') + '"'
dispName = 'Server.DispName ' + '"' + raw_input('DispName: ') + '"' + '\n'
statusUrl = 'Server.Status ' + '"' + raw_input('Status URL: ') + '"' + '\n'
signupUrl = 'Server.Signup ' + '"' + raw_input('Signup URL: ') + '"' + '\n'
for l in range(1, 3):
iniList[l].append('Server.' + fileList[l][1] + '.Host ' + ip + '\n\n')
for l in [[dispName], [statusUrl], [signupUrl]]:
iniList.append(l)
outFile = open('server.ini', 'w')
for l in iniList:
for i in l:
outFile.write(i)
outFile.close()
The following was in my example file:
# Keys are Base64-encoded 512 bit RC4 keys, as generated by DirtSand's keygen
# command. Note that they MUST be quoted in the commands below, or the client
# won't parse them correctly!
I also tried it without inverting n and x

Trouble with apostrophe in arcpy search cursor where clause

I've put together a tkinter form and python script for downloading files from an ftp site. The filenames are in the attribute table of a shapefile, as well as an overall Name that the filenames correspond too. In other words I look up a Name such as "CABOT" and download the filename 34092_18.tif. However, if a Name has an apostrophe, such as "O'KEAN", it's giving me trouble. I try to replace the apostrophe, like I've done in previous scripts, but it doesn't download anything....
whereExp = quadField + " = " + "'" + quadName.replace("'", '"') + "'"
quadFields = ["FILENAME"]
c = arcpy.da.SearchCursor(collarlessQuad, quadFields, whereExp)
for row in c:
tifFile = row[0]
tifName = quadName.replace("'", '') + '_' + tifFile
#fullUrl = ftpUrl + tifFile
local_filename = os.path.join(downloadDir, tifName)
lf = open(local_filename, "wb")
ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + tifFile, lf.write)
lf.close()
Here is an example of a portion of a script that works fine by replacing the apostrophe....
where_clause = quadField + " = " + "'" + quad.replace("'", '"') + "'"
#out_quad = quad.replace("'", "") + ".shp"
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(quadTable, "quadLayer")
select_out_feature_class = arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("quadLayer", "NEW_SELECTION", where_clause)
