You'll have to write your data here.

And here.

You rarely need a loop like this in Python.
for x in a:
   doSomething
is the usual way of writing this.  But you don't need this anyway.  Just 
use the string join method as you can't use csv, which tells me it's 
homework, so I'll leave you to it :)
