Writing many variables to a file

[birdieman]

I am still a beginner to Python and have the following code to write about 14 variables to a file:

    f.write('{} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {}\n'.format

            ###################  WRITE THE TAXABLE CATEGORY
            (year, yourage, herage,
             round(begintaxableequity),
             round(endtaxableequity),
             round(begintaxablefixedincome),
             round(fixedincome),
             round(endtaxablefixedincome),
             round(begintaxablecash),
             round(cashincome),
             round(endtaxablecash),
             round(totaltaxableassets),
             round(totaltaxabledivincome),
             taxableequitygwth,
             taxablefixedincomediv,
             taxablecashdiv))

Everything works fine -- no problems.  My questions:

1. If I have say 100 variables, do I follow the same logic/pattern?

2.  Is there a better/faster/simpler way to write many variables?

thanks

1. You may follow same pattern to complete your task

2. I think a better/faster/simpler way is to have your variables stored in a container (e.g. a list or tuple - which, in a way, you have actually done in "format" already) and loop over that list, each iteration being a write to file

The latter option will also make it a bit easier (and definitely more readable and less error prone) to add/remove variables if needed.

Hello!
You have many repeating tasks. Make a function pass the original values as parameters or list of parameters and return the rounded values as list. Make a list with all you want and save it as a CSV file. Consider to shorten all the variables names. It's easy to misspell them.

If you have 100 variables the problem is keeping track of the 100 variables throughout the code, not just at the place where you print them...

What I would so is see if I can find logical groupings of these variables and make object classes from them. Then I can define/code the __str__(self) method in these classes and I just have to give the class instance in a print call and it would output the string with all its components... And these classes will likely have other profitable uses.
