Very basic Python question (strings, formats and escapes)

Question

I am starting to learn Python with an online guide, and I just did an exercise that required me to write this script:

from sys import argv

script, filename = ar         


        

Answer 1

For the purposes of "that specific study drill" question/problem in that specific guide, i believe the author would like...

target.write("%s\n%s\n%s\n" % (line1, line2, line3))

Although, Dave Webb certainly gets many many browny points for being thorough plus educational value too.
