Python How can I print a list with strings and intergers to a text file

Question

Here is my list

[('Doctor', 1), ('Paramedic', 2), ('Janitor', 3)]

I want to print the list to a text file so it will look like this,

('Doctor', 1), ('Paramedic', 2), ('Janitor', 3)

or something similar.

Thanks.

Answer 1

simplest way to do it is to convert list to string and remove parenthesis using slicing and write it to file

No need of any loop

a = [('Doctor', 1), ('Paramedic', 2), ('Janitor', 3)]
a = str(a)[1:-1]
f = open("demofile2.txt", "a")
f.write(str(a))
f.close()

Answer 2

here is a possible solution:

LST = [('Doctor', 1), ('Paramedic', 2), ('Janitor', 3)]
OUTPUTFILE = "out.txt" # text file path

with open(OUTPUTFILE, "w") as f:
    for name, count in LST:
        f.write(f"{name}: {count}\n")            

Answer 3

some_list = [('Doctor', 1), ('Paramedic', 2), ('Janitor', 3)] with open('file.txt', 'w') as file: for item in some_list: file.write(f'{item}, ')
