numpy save 2d array to text file

Question

I use

np.savetxt('file.txt', array, delimiter=',')

to save array to the file separated with comma. It looks like:

1, 2, 3
4, 5, 6
7, 8, 9

How can I save the array into the file shown as it is in the numpy format. In other words, it looks like:

[[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9]]

Answer 1

In [38]: x = np.arange(1,10).reshape(3,3)    

In [40]: print(np.array2string(x, separator=', '))
[[1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],
 [7, 8, 9]]

To save the NumPy array x to a file:

np.set_printoptions(threshold=np.inf, linewidth=np.inf)  # turn off summarization, line-wrapping
with open(path, 'w') as f:
    f.write(np.array2string(x, separator=', '))

Answer 2

You can use the first format for copy-pasting as well:

>>> from io import BytesIO
>>> bio = BytesIO('''\
... 1, 2, 3
... 4, 5, 6
... 7, 8, 9
... ''') # copy pasted from above
>>> xs = np.loadtxt(bio, delimiter=', ')
>>> xs
array([[ 1.,  2.,  3.],
       [ 4.,  5.,  6.],
       [ 7.,  8.,  9.]])

Answer 3

import sys

file = "<you_file_dir>file.txt"

sys.stdout = open(file, 'w')

d = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
l__d1 = d[0:3]
l__d2 = d[3:6]
l__d3 = d[6:9]

print str(l__d1) + '\n' + str(l__d2) + '\n' + str(l__d3)
