Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] TypeError

OK. I figured out that it worked if I opened the file in binary mode
('wb'). But that made it more problematic to do what I intended, that is
add some html before the generated stuff. Something along the below. This
does not work, since it complaints that "TypeError: a bytes-like object is
required, not 'str'":

        fd_html = open(htmlPath, 'w', encoding='utf-8')
        fd_html.write('\n'.join([
            '<!DOCTYPE html>',
            '<html>',
            '<head>',
            ' <meta charset="utf-8">',
            ' <title>My Title</title>\n',
            ' <link rel="stylesheet" href="%s">\n' % "../my.css",
            '</head>\n'
            ]))

        markdown.markdownFromFile(input=mdPath,
                                  output=fd_html,
                                  encoding='utf-8',
                                  extensions=['markdown.extensions.tables',
'markdown.extensions.def_list',

'markdown.extensions.footnotes', 'markdown.extensions.fenced_code',

'markdown.extensions.codehilite', 'markdown.extensions.attr_list']
                                  )
        fd_html.close()

I admit that I am a beginner with python and python-markdown, so I realize
I might be doing beginner mistakes. Do you have a proposal for how I should
do the above?
