  • python: write list to file?

    I have a python list that looks like:

    cont =

    ['0.0982','0.025']

    ['0.0983','0.024']

    ...

    and so on.

    I use

    fid2 = open(newfile,'w')

    fid2.writelines(cont)

    fid2.close()

    I get the following error: writelines() argument must be a sequence of strings.

    How do I write that list to a file?
