you could just read the file, use string manipulation(list manipulation or whatever for bytes) and overwrite the contend with your data. or if you have big files: go to point using seek() read the file from wherever you want to insert, use string manipulation(or whatever) and write from point you want to insert to end.(so use seek() again and r+ mode) see this link: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1847959
