Hi Wayne,
Yes, that should work perfectly, but it is in writing files that I'm
having the problem. I'm still very new to python, so I only know to
use something like filename.write(str(listname)) to write my list to a
file..
Is there a straightforward method of combining the ease of the print
function setup that you suggested with write? Or could I somehow use
the print function itself to write to the file (rather than just
output to my shell/prompt)?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have a series of lists that I need to output into files with a specific
format. Specifically, I need to have line breaks after each entry of the
list, and I need to do away with the ['..'] that accompany the data after I
transform the list into a string. Can I simply append a '\n' to the end of
all the list entries in order to enact line breaks?
Is this what you're looking for?
In [3]: print '\n'.join(['the quick brown fox', 'jumps over', 'the lazy
dog'])
the quick brown fox
jumps over
the lazy dog
HTH,
Wayne
