how to print the output to a text file in python

Question

import nltk
from urllib import request

url = "http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~diana/csi5386/A1_2020/microblog2011.txt"
response = request.urlopen(url)
raw = response.read().decode('utf8')
tokens = nltk.word_tokenize(raw)
tokens

In the above code the output is in 'tokens' in the form of list. How to copy this list into a text file?

You would need to do something like this:

with open('filename.txt', 'w') as f:
    for i in tokens:
        f.write(i)
