python writing a list to a file
- by gfar90
I need to write a list to a file in python. I know the list should be converted to a string with the join method, but since I have a tuple I got confused. I tried a lot to change my variables to strings etc, this is one of my first attempts:
def perform(text):
repository = [("","")]
fdist = nltk.FreqDist(some_variable)
for c in some_variable:
repository.append((c, fdist[c]))
return ' '.join(repository)
but it gives me the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
qe = perform(entfile2)
File "", line 14, in perform
return ' '.join(repository)
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, tuple found
any ideas how to write the list 'repository' to a file? Thanks!
