[python] Save a list to a .txt file

You can use inbuilt library pickle

This library allows you to save any object in python to a file

This library will maintain the format as well

import pickle
with open('/content/list_1.txt', 'wb') as fp:
    pickle.dump(list_1, fp)

you can also read the list back as an object using same library

with open ('/content/list_1.txt', 'rb') as fp:
    list_1 = pickle.load(fp)
