type("c",KEY_CTRL)
f = open('msn.txt' ,'r+')

you seem to expect, that

a =(type("v",KEY_CTRL))

returns the content of the clipboard.

But that is not the case: type() simply simulates key presses and returns 0 or 1 (print a should have told you), which in turn leads to the error at
f.write(a)

which needs a string value (no auto-conversion like with print)

If I guessed your intention right:

try:
    dragDrop("Pd-1.png", "al-1.png")
except:
    dragDrop("1365085975403.png","line.png")
type("c",KEY_CTRL)
f = open('msn.txt' ,'r+')
a =Env.getClipboard()
print a
f.write(a)
ler = f.read()
f.close()

print ler
