dictionary output to text file (beginner)

[deanhystad]

You can tell print() to print to a file.:

with open('datafile1.txt', 'a') as f:
    print("\nThis prints the key and its associated values")  # Prints to terminal
    for person in data['returnData']:
        print(f"Elid: {person['elid']}, Last Name: {person['name']}", file=f)  # Prints to file
