[Tutor] Writing a dictionary to txt file

[nzbz xx]

The original txt file is written in this format:

Plant 1
date & time
description
description
description
(Blank line)
Plant 2
...
....
...

I have converted this file into dict = {'Plant 1':
['datetime','description','description','description'], 'Plant2' :
['datetime',....]}. So how can i write this dict back to the txt file in
the same format?
