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

Serialize list into text file with comma sepparated value

mylist = dir()
with open('filename.txt','w') as f:
    f.write( ','.join( mylist ) )
