Suppose you have the desided text in a string:

py> txt = """For Kannada project .txt(not .doc) is used,
... my requirement is to have
... one space between two characters in Notepad file."""

You can insert one space between each caracter by using:

py> " ".join(txt)
'F o r   K a n n a d a   p r o j e c t   . t x t ( n o t   . d o c )   i  
s   u s
  e d ,   \n m y   r e q u i r e m e n t   i s   t o   h a v e \n o n e   s  
p a c
  e   b e t w e e n   t w o   c h a r a c t e r s   i n   N o t e p a d   f  
i l e
  .'

and then write the resulting text into a file as usual.
