Beginner python question

[dmband445]

Hi, I am trying to write a list out to a file. But when I do, it prints it like one big word. I need them to be seperated by a comma.(It has to be a list, not a string). I am simply doing this:

filehandle.writelines(row2)

It comes back as one long word. How do I make them seperated by a comma? When I print the list out to the actual command line, they are formatted properly, it's just when I open the file up.

Thanks,

Casey

if 'f' is an open file object:

f.write(','.join(your_list))
f.close()

myList = [1, 2, 3, 4]
f = open('temp.txt', 'w')
f.write( ", ".join(str(item) for item in myList) + "\n")
f.close()
