How do I save results of a “for” loop into a single variable?

Question

I have a for loop:

for x in range(1,13):
   print (\"This was the average temperature in month number \" + str(x) + \" in Boston, 2014: \", Boston_monthly_te         


        

Answer 1

Try this

result = []
for x in range(1,13):
    result.append((x, Boston_monthly_temp(x)))

Now result contains the x and avg

for x, avg in result:
    print ("This was the average temperature in month number " + str(x) + " in Boston, 2014: ", avg)

You can save it to sample.pkl by

import pickle
pickle.dump(result, open("sample.pkl","w"))

Then check by

res = pickle.load(open('sample.pkl'))
>>>for i in res:
       print i
This was the average temperature ...
This was the average temperatu ...
.....

Answer 2

You could simply store the results in a dictionary, pickle that and store it:

import pickle

d = {}
for x in range(1,13):
   d[x] = Boston_monthly_temp(x)
res = pickle.dumps(d)
# write res to a file
