[Tutor] Create file / Print list to file

[Klas Marteleur]

I dont know what i am doing diffrent from you but i dont get it to work:

This is my function:

def writeListToFile(inputList, outputFile):
    print "\nThis is the inputlist\n",inputList
    f = open(outputFile,"w")
    print "\nThis is f\n", f
    for line in inputList:
        lineData = ' '.join(line)
        f.write(lineData)
        f.write('\n')
    f.close()

and this is a snippet of the output:

...This is the inputlist
[['Parent Name', ';', 'Parent Revision', ';', 'Child Name', ';', 'Child 
Revision', ';', 'Quantity', ';', 'Find Number', ';', 'Reference Designator', 
';', 'Remark', ';', 'Usage', ';', 'WP', ';', 'PRP'], ['03003365', ';', 'AB', 
';', '03003240', ';', 'AC', ';', '1', ';', 100, ';', '10', ';', '-', ';', '', 
';', '-', ';', '-'], ['03003365', ';', 'AB', ';', '03003358', ';', 'AA', ';', 
'2', ';', 90, ';', '9', ';', 'Mtrl. spec.: 56-3239-47 ', ';', '', ';', 'YES', 
';', '-'], ['03003365', ';', 'AB', ';', '03003359', ';', 'AB', ';', '8', ';', 
80, ';', '8', ';', '-', ';', '', ';', '-', ';', 'YES'], ['03003365', ';', 
'AB', ';', '03003360', ';', 'AB', ';', '1', ';', 70, ';', '7', ';', '-', ';', 
'', ';', 'YES', ';', 'YES'], ['03003365', ';', 'AB', ';', '03003361', ';', 
'AA', ';', '2', ';', 60, ';', '6', ';', '-', ';', '', ';', '-', ';', '-'], 
['03003365', ';', 'AB', ';', '03003362', ';', 'AB', ';', '1', ';', 50, ';', 
'5', ';', '-', ';', '', ';', 'YES', ';', 'YES'], ['03003365', ';', 'AB', ';', 
'03003363', ';', 'AB', ';', '1', ';', 40, ';', '4', ';', '-', ';', '', ';', 
'YES', ';', 'YES'], ['03003365', ';', 'AB', ';', '03003364', ';', 'AB', ';', 
'1', ';', 30, ';', '3', ';', '-', ';', '', ';', 'YES', ';', 'YES'], 
['03003365', ';', 'AB', ';', '59-0763-00', ';', '1', ';', '16', ';', 20, ';', 
'2', ';', 'DIN 934 ', ';', '', ';', '-', ';', '-'], ['03003365', ';', 'AB', 
';', '59-0781-00', ';', '1', ';', '16', ';', 10, ';', '1', ';', '-', ';', '', 
';', '-', ';', '-']]

This is f
<open file '/home/klas/Python_filer/Tragic/output.txt', mode 'w' at 0x857b8c0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/klas/Python_filer/Tragic/CreateEbomFromFile4.py", line 109, in ?

    lineData = ' '.join(line)
TypeError: sequence item 10: expected string, int found
