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

In Python3 You Can use this loop

with open('your_file.txt', 'w') as f:
    for item in list:
        f.print("", item)

Answer 2

with open ("test.txt","w")as fp:
   for line in list12:
       fp.write(line+"\n")

Answer 3

In python>3 you can use print and * for argument unpacking:

with open("fout.txt", "w") as fout:
    print(*my_list, sep="\n", file=fout)

Answer 4

Another way of iterating and adding newline:

for item in items:
    filewriter.write(f"{item}" + "\n")

Answer 5

Using numpy.savetxt is also an option:

import numpy as np

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

Answer 6

You can also use the print function if you're on python3 as follows.

f = open("myfile.txt","wb")
print(mylist, file=f)
