Writing a list to a file with Python

Question

Is this the cleanest way to write a list to a file, since writelines() doesn\'t insert newline characters?

file.writelines([\"%s\\n\" % item  fo         


        

Answer 1

Using numpy.savetxt is also an option:

import numpy as np

np.savetxt('list.txt', list, delimiter="\n", fmt="%s")
