x = Button(raiz, text='Listar').grid()


raiz.mainloop()

Answer 1

You can use the open built-in to get a file object with writing permissions, and then fill the content using the write function:

file = open('<FILENAME>.txt', 'w')
file.write('first line\n')
file.write('second line\n')
file.close()

Check out the linked docs for more info about the open arguments and other useful functions like writelines.

Answer 2

Here's the code, I redesigned it to meet your requirements. Feedback would be much appreciated

from Tkinter import *

raiz = Tk()
frame = Frame(raiz)
out = []

def cadastro():
    form = Toplevel(raiz)

    Label(form, text='Nome: ').grid(column=0, row=0, sticky=E)
    Label(form, text='Celular: ').grid(column=0, row=1, sticky=E)

    nome = StringVar()
    celular = StringVar()

    a=Entry(form, textvariable=nome, width=15)
    a.grid(column=1, row=0, sticky=W)
    Entry(form, textvariable=celular, width=15).grid(column=1, row=1, sticky=W)

    def onCancel():
        form.destroy()

    def onOk():
        with open('outt.txt','w') as txt:
            txt.write('Name : ' + str(nome.get()) + '  ' + 'Telephone No. : ' + str(celular.get()))
        onCancel()

    Button(form, text='OK', command=onOk).grid(column=0, row=2, sticky=E)
    Button(form, text='Cancel', command=onCancel).grid(column=1, row=2, sticky=W)

def listar():
    with open('outt.txt','r') as txt_read:
        print txt_read.read()




w = Button(raiz, text='Cadastrar',command=cadastro).grid()
x = Button(raiz, text='Listar' , command=listar).grid()


raiz.mainloop()

after entering data, if you clicked on listar you can see the output on the screen (though you can manually view the data which is saved in .txt file)

here's a sample:

Name : K-DawG Telephone No. : 911

The key here is using the with as statement, for more info check out Codeacademy's course on python

using a list and the insert() method was surely not the best option for this problem but rather if you use my method and write to a .csv file with delimiters the program could finally be worthwhile
