Python: iterate through two lists and write them to outfile on the same line

Question

I would like to iterate through two lists simultaneously and write each item from both lists, tab-separated on the same line.

word = [\'run\', \'windless\', \'ma         


        

Answer 1

If you want to make life easier for yourself you can use the print statement/function.

Python 2:

print >>outfile, w, p

Python 3 (or Python 2 using from __future__ import print_function at the top):

print(w, p, file=outfile)

This way you can avoid manually adding the '\n' or converting everything to a single string.
