I would love to hear your outstream.write() side-track!
I am not Rhodri James, but you can just write strings to text files:
outstream.write("X: ") # note, includes the space separator
outstream.write(str(thing[0]))
outstring.write("\n")
You can also format the string before passing it to write (which is
probably what Rhodri meant by "do my own formatting", like this:
outstream.write("X: %7.2f\n" % thing[0])
or this
outstream.write("X: {0:7.2f}\n".format(thing[0]))
or (since Python 3.6) this:
outstream.write(f"X: {thing[0]:7.2f}\n")
There are of course many variants to all three methods.
That is indeed what I meant. I do enough random dumping of things to
files for debugging purposes that outstream.write() is second nature to
me now. I once even went as far as sys.stdout.write() before sanity
caught up with me ;-)
