Saving output in python

Question

I have this code:

import itertools
res = itertools.permutations('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',5) # 5 is the length of the result. 
for i in res: 
   print ''.join(i)

I need the result in stead of being printed print ''.join(i) to be saved in a .txt file.

I am not familiar with python. Thank you for your time!

This is very basic; a quick google already points to a tutorial: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/inputoutput.html — Martijn Pieters, Sep 30 '15 at 18:55
All you need is to open a file object and replace `print` with `fileobj.write(''.join(i) + '\n')`. — Martijn Pieters, Sep 30 '15 at 18:56

You can open the file in write mode and just use fileobject.write method to write your permutations to the file :

with open('file_name.txt','w') as f:
    res = itertools.permutations('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',5) # 5 is the length of the result. 
    for i in res: 
       f.write(''.join(i)+'\n')
