How to save output from python like tsv

Question

I am using biopython package and I would like to save result like tsv file. This output from print to tsv.

for record in SeqIO.parse(\"/home/fil/Desktop/420_         


        

Answer 1

I prefer using join() in this type of code:

for record in SeqIO.parse("/home/fil/Desktop/420_2_03_074.fastq", "fastq"):
    print ( '\t'.join((str(record.id), str(record.seq), str(record.format("qual"))) )

The 'tab' character is \t and the join function takes the (3) arguments and prints them with a tab in between.
