how can I write this shell script in python?

Python equivalent for write in file like in shell

• Is there a way to write in file like in shell script but in python by doing something similar to this: cat >> document.txt <<EOF Hello world 1 var=$var Hello world 2 EOF ?

• Answer:

  with open('document.txt', 'w') as fp: fp.write('''foo {variable} '''.format(variable = 42)) Though you probably want to do several calls to fp.write (or print) for each line, or use textwrap.dedent to avoid whitespace issues, e.g. with open('document.txt', 'w') as fp: print >>fp, 'foo' # in 3.x, print('foo', file = fp) print >>fp, variable It's probably best to just read http://docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/index.html.
