title: Printing the output that is a list of file names to a text file
body: <p>I have made a Python program that checks the files in a folder and returns a list of the ones that end with .txt. Now i want to output that to a file. Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  import os.path
  import sys
  
  f=open("E:\\test.txt",'w')
  f.write('')
  
  path=os.path.abspath("E:\\test")
  def print_result():
      print(name)
  for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
      for name in files:
          if name.endswith(".txt"):
              print_result()
  
  Version 1:
  
  alist=[print_name]            
  alist.append(print_result)
  f=open("E:\\test.txt", 'a')
  f.writelines(alist)
  
  Version 2:
  
  alist=name
  alist.append(name)
  f = open("E:\\test.txt",'a')
  print (name)
  
  Version 3:
  
  frame=print_result
  saveout = sys.stdout
  fsock = open("E:\\test.txt", 'a')
  sys.stdout = fsock
  print (frame)
  sys.stdout = saveout`enter code here`
  
  As you can see i have tried diferent types. The thing is that i only get the following in the file, instead of the actual output list:
  
  &lt;function print_result at 0x004F6DB0&gt;
  </code></pre>
