Answer 1

Use writelines() method to write your content.

>>> f   = open("test.txt",'w')
>>> mylist = ['a','b','c']
>>> f.writelines(mylist)

file.writelines(sequence)

Write a sequence of strings to the file. The sequence can be any iterable object producing strings, typically a list of strings. There is no return value

Note: writelines() does not add line separators.
