How can I indicate a newline in a string in Python, so that I can write multiple lines to a text file?
It depends on how correct you want to be.
\nwill usually do the job. If you really want to get it right, you look up the newline character in theospackage. (It’s actually calledlinesep.)Note: when writing to files using the Python API, do not use the
os.linesep. Just use\n; Python automatically translates that to the proper newline character for your platform.
