#File Writing

Snippet Description

The open() Method

The open() method is used to open a file object. For specific usage, refer to Python read file example

The write() Method

Use the open() function to open a file, then use the write() method to write content to the file.

The writelines() Method

The writelines() method is used to write a list of strings to a file. However, note the following points:

  • The writelines() method only accepts a list of strings as a parameter. If you want to write a single string, use the write() method.
  • The writelines() method does not automatically add newlines between strings; you need to manually add them to the strings.
  • The writelines() method does not add a blank line at the end of the list. If you need to add a blank line at the end, manually add an empty string containing a newline character.
  • When using the writelines() method, ensure that the passed parameter is a list of strings. If the parameter is a generator object, convert it to a list before passing it.
