Copying code from current file to another python file

I'm trying to copy several lines of code from one python file to another.

The idea here is that I'm setting up a simple character creator for a text-based adventure game and I need to transfer the code over to a charcter sheet to use later on in the project.

I've tried using the .write function, but it doesn't accept integers

edit;Grammar

edit2;messed up in the 'else' bit

import sys
C_sheet=open("CharacterSheet.txt", 'w')

strength=10
dexterity=10
cunning=10
magic=10

mana=200
health_points=100

name=input("Name your character; ",)
C_sheet.write(name)


invalid2=True

def job():
    role=input("Choose your role: Fighter(F), Mage(M), Thief(T): ", )
    role=role.upper()

    if role=="F":
        st=(strength+5)
        dex=(dexterity+0)
        cun=(cunning-3)
        mag=(magic-5)
        mn=(mana-50)
        hp=(health_points+25)
        C_sheet.write("Fighter")
        C_sheet.write(st)
        C_sheet.write(dex)
        C_sheet.write(cun)
        C_sheet.write(mag)
        C_sheet.write(mn)
        C_sheet.write(hp)
        C_sheet.close()
        invalid2=False


    else:
        print("invalid")
        invalid2=True

while invalid2:
    job()

I'm trying to get the other file to look something like this

name=("placeholder")

st=15
dex=10
cun=7
mag=5
mn=150
hp=225

You are right, fh.write only takes strings for files opened in w or wt mode. To get around this, you can use:

string formatting

with open('somefile.txt', 'w') as fh:
    fh.write('%d' % 5) # for ints
    fh.write('%f' % 6) # for floats
    fh.write('%s' % 'string') # for strings

# OR str.format syntax 
with open('somefile.txt', 'w') as fh:
    fh.write('{}'.format(5)) # transferrable to all types of variables

f-strings (python 3.5+ only)

with open('somefile.txt', 'w') as fh:
    fh.write(f'{5}') # will work for all variables

f-strings would be my vote, as it works the same for all variables, though string-formatting with {} and % is portable for python3 and python2, if that's an issue.

To get the format you are looking for with both options:

string format

with open('somefile.txt', 'w') as fh:
    fh.write('dex = %d' % dexterity)
    # will write "dex = 10" or whatever you have substituted

f-string

with open('somefile.txt', 'w') as fh:
    fh.write(f'dex = {dexterity})
