@Robin: rstrip() is a very nice solution.

Few tips to increase readability:
1) More “portable” way of composing path is ‘os.path.join(segment1, segment2, segment3)’ instead of ‘segment1+r”/”+segment2+r”/”+segment3’.
The former already appears in the code.

2) Opening file for its content access or manipulation:

text = open(file, 'a')
text.write('Something something something very useful\n')
text.close()

better be changed to

with open(file, 'a') as text:
    text.write('Something something something very useful\n')

said to be managing resources better (forgetting|deletion of the close statement).
