This code returns the following error message:
with open (infile, mode='r', buffering=-1) as in_f, open (outfile, mode='w', buffering=-1) as out_f: TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, file found
# Opens each file to read/modify

f = (i for i in in_f if i.rstrip())
for line in f:
_, k = line.split('\t',1)
x = re.findall(r'^1..100\t([+-])chr(\d+):(\d+)\.\.(\d+).+$',k)
if not x:

Please someone help me.
You're trying to open each file twice! First you do:
infile=open('110331_HS1A_1_rtTA.result','r')
and then you pass infile
(which is a file object) to the open
function again:
with open (infile, mode='r', buffering=-1)
open
is of course expecting its first argument to be a file name, not an opened file!
Open the file once only and you should be fine.
