I have an ugly list of lists generated in a program, which looks like this:
a= [[93.400000000000006, "high"], [98.600000000000009, 99.0, "high"], [121.30000000000001, 124.1000000000000]]
I am saving it to a text file as follows:
with open('sample.txt','a') as outfile: json.dump(a,outfile) outfile.write("nn")
When I open the text file, the values saved are an eyesore. How do I save each list to a new line?
For example if I wanted to print each list to a new line, I could simply do:
for i in range(len(a)): print a[i]
thank you
EDIT: OUTPUT HAS TO LOOK LIKE :
[93.400000000000006, “high”]
[98.600000000000009, 99.0, “high”]
i.e each on one line.

Answer
I really don’t any reason here to use json.dumps
. You can just use a normal for
loop:
a = [ [93.400000000000006, "high"], [98.600000000000009, 99.0, "high"], [111.60000000000001, 112.5, "high"] ] with open('sample.txt', 'a') as outfile: for sublist in a: outfile.write('{}n'.format(sublist))
The above code produces the output:
[93.400000000000006, 'high'] [98.600000000000009, 99.0, 'high'] [111.60000000000001, 112.5, 'high']
