I'd go for something like...
fout = open('somefile','w')
fout.writelines( line+"\n" for line in convertedData )
fout.close()
Although your first solution should perform about the same.
If you have 2.5, you may prefer this...
with open('somefile','w') as fout:
fout.writelines( line+"\n" for line in convertedData )

The OS should buffer it for you.
