I have this problem with open() function in python. It returns me this:

   Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\Gianmarco\Documents\Progetto SARHIS\main.py", line 32, in <module>
    Write_N_Load()
  File "c:\Users\Gianmarco\Documents\Progetto SARHIS\main.py", line 27, in Write_N_Load
    with open("config.ini", "w") as f:
TypeError: an integer is required (got type str)

The code is this one:

from configparser import ConfigParser

def Write_N_Load():
    parser = ConfigParser()
    parser.read("config.ini")
    firstStart = parser.get("sarhis","firstStart")
    if firstStart == "1":
        print("First Time Eh? Enter name: ")
        name = input()
        print("Oki Dokie")
        parser['sarhis'] = {"name": "{name}"}
        with open("config.ini", "w") as f:
            parser.write(f)

What i'm trying to do is to save name variable into config.ini file.

config.ini:

[sarhis]
firstStart = 1

Have you by chance declared a function called `open` yourself? – rdas Oct 23 '20 at 16:03
No, just the `with open(with open("config.ini", "w") as f:` – HolySpeeddo Oct 23 '20 at 16:04
Do you mean `{'name': f'{name}'}` by the way? (Instead of raw `'{name}'`) – Collin Heist Oct 23 '20 at 16:08
Tried that too, didn't work. The `TypeError: an integer is required (got type str)` keep showing – HolySpeeddo Oct 23 '20 at 16:08
How can i store it then? Just asking, learning python – HolySpeeddo Oct 23 '20 at 16:10
Actually what you have should be fine (with regards to assigning a dictionary). Try opening the file outside this function, what happens? – Collin Heist Oct 23 '20 at 16:16
It returns `NameError: name 'file' is not defined`. Added `global file` and `global parser` – HolySpeeddo Oct 23 '20 at 16:23
You should provide the complete code with instructions on how to run it in the question. This needs more details – rdas Oct 23 '20 at 16:28
Here, updated the description – HolySpeeddo Oct 23 '20 at 16:40

Running the code worked fine. Unable to reproduce the error. – Christopher Peisert Oct 23 '20 at 16:49
How is it possible? What version of python you're using? – HolySpeeddo Oct 23 '20 at 17:11

You should post the solution as an Answer, not by editing the question. – Barmar Oct 23 '20 at 19:43
The reason why `from os import *` caused this is because it redefined `open` to be `os.open`. Which is what @rdas suggested. – Barmar Oct 23 '20 at 19:45
