AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'write'

Python Version: 3.8.2
Code:

    def delete_package_line(self, file):
        sed = Sed()
        try:
            sed.no_autoprint = True
            sed.regexp_extended = False
            sed.load_string("/{0}/d".format(self.package))
            sed.apply(file, output=file)
            print("applied")
        except SedException as e:
            print(e.message)
            raise

When I change sed.no_autoprint to False, I get no error but I doesn't work either. Calling pythonsed -e /name/d success.txt worked fine.

There are two problems. Biggest in pythonsed: using a filename as output parameter was not implemented. This is fixed now and tested in continuous integration. Second problem is you used same file name for input and output. As the process starts by creating the output file, this implies erasing at the same time the input file (something like "type tmp.txt > tmp.txt"). There is no control for that. Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for clarifiying this. Hopefully it works. Thanks for making this performant lib.
