Answer 1

I think line 38 is this line:
fdd=open(s,"w")
Note that you are importing os.open using this statement in the beginning of your views.py:
from os import *
In line 38 you are actually trying to call os.open. Now, os.open (docs) is different than built-in open (docs). It expects an integer mode argument.
You should modify your import line to import only necessary functions from os library.
As a side note, wildcard imports are not advised because of namespace pollution causing errors of this kind.
