You will need to write each line of the file separately, with the
formatting you desire for each line.
The following example may help.


A = range(5)
B = range(5, 10)

records = zip(A, B)
output_format = '%s %s'

with open('output.txt', 'w') as f:
    for record in records:
        f.write(output_format %(record))
        f.write('\n')
