Elegant or obfuscated, you be the judge:

  vv = [xVec, yVec, zVec]

  for i in range(len(xVec)):
    print >>f,  ", ".join([x[i] for x in vv])


To be honest, I'd be more likely to do it like this, for readability if
for no other reason:

  for i in range(len(xVec)):
    print >>f, "%f, %f, %f" % (xVec[i], yVec[i], zVec[i])



It might help if we knew what you're *really* trying to do.
