Writing a dictionary to a text file?
First of all you are opening file in read mode and trying to write into it.Consult - IO modes python
Secondly, you can only write a string to a file. If you want to write a dictionary object, you either need to convert it into string or serialize it.
import json# as requested in commentexDict = {'exDict': exDict}with open('file.txt', 'w') as file: file.write(json.dumps(exDict)) # use `json.loads` to do the reverseIn case of serialization
import cPickle as picklewith open('file.txt', 'w') as file: file.write(pickle.dumps(exDict)) # use `pickle.loads` to do the reverseFor python 3.x pickle package import would be different
import _pickle as pickle
I do it like this in python 3:
with open('myfile.txt', 'w') as f: print(mydictionary, file=f)
fout = "/your/outfile/here.txt"fo = open(fout, "w")for k, v in yourDictionary.items(): fo.write(str(k) + ' >>> '+ str(v) + '\n\n')fo.close()
