Yes, each line is a list containing one tuple containing three string
values.

When you print, the values are automatically converted to strings by
calling str() on them. When you use p2.write(), this conversion is not
automatic, you have to do it yourself via
p2.write(str(jay))
You can also tell the print statement to output to a file like this:
print >>p2, jay

In [4]: jay=[('1', '337', '912')]
jay[0] is the tuple alone:
In [6]: jay[0]
Out[6]: ('1', '337', '912')
Join the elements together using an empty string as the separator:
In [5]: ''.join(jay[0])
Out[5]: '1337912'
In [7]:
