Apart from using str as a variable name, which is bad style, there is
nothing wrong with the code you have posted.
It would help, if you would also post the values of d1 and prob and cut and
paste the actual traceback.
Using the insufficient information you provide, prob could be an
incompatible type, e. g. a string
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: float argument required

or you are ot allowed to write into the specified file:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Or something completely different...

What are you missing? You are missing including your actual errors
in this question.

The only error I get when running your code (Python 2.3, Windows)
is "d1" and "prob" aren't defined. If I fix that then "out.txt" is
written as expected.

TTFN,
Tom.
