Id 1st arrange the list in order you wish, then:
The best was is to use json, which is structured text and can be read by many applications (including yours)
and also by ant text editor.
to save, it's simple:
import json with open(filename, 'w') as jout: json.dump(listname, jout)You may have to install json
to read back in:
import json with open(filename) as jin: listname = json.load(jin)[/code]

After the with statement (next line), the 4 white space indentation is missing.
with open(filename, 'w') as jout: # code inside the context manager # code outside the context manager # the context manager is closing the file automatically when # leaving the context block # is also called, when the program gets an KeyboardInterrupt

This is a result of the changed editor.
