TypeError - What does this error mean?

So, i've been writing this program that takes a HTMl file, replaces some text and puts the return back into a different file in a different directory.

This error happened.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/Users/Glenn/jack/HTML_Task/src/HTML Rewriter.py", line 19, in <module>
        with open (os.path.join("/Users/Glenn/jack/HTML_Task/src", out_file)):
              File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/posixpath.py", line 89, in join
        genericpath._check_arg_types('join', a, *p)
      File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/genericpath.py", line 143, in _check_arg_types
        (funcname, s.__class__.__name__)) from None
    TypeError: join() argument must be str or bytes, not 'TextIOWrapper'

Below is my code. Has anyone got any solutions I could implement, or should I kill it with fire.

    import re
    import os
    os.mkdir ("dest")

    file = open("2016-06-06_UK_BackToSchool.html").read()
    text_filtered = re.sub(r'http://', '/', file)
    print (text_filtered)

    with open ("2016-06-06_UK_BackToSchool.html", "wt") as out_file:
        print ("testtesttest")

    with open (os.path.join("/Users/Glenn/jack/HTML_Task/src", out_file)):
               out_file.write(text_filtered)

    os.rename("/Users/Glenn/jack/HTML_Task/src/2016-06-06_UK_BackToSchool.html", "/Users/Glenn/jack/HTML_Task/src/dest/2016-06-06_UK_BackToSchool.html")

with open (os.path.join("/Users/Glenn/jack/HTML_Task/src", out_file)):

Here out_file if TextIOWrapper, not string.

os.path.join takes string as arguments.

  1. Do not use keywords name as variable. file is keyword.
  2. Do not use space in between function call os.mkdir ("dest")

try to change this:

with open ("2016-06-06_UK_BackToSchool.html", "wt") as out_file

on this:

with open ("2016-06-06_UK_BackToSchool.html", "w") as out_file:

or this:

with open ("2016-06-06_UK_BackToSchool.html", "wb") as out_file:
