As the error says you can't join lists and strings, you need to convert the list to a string first. But it might be worth considering whether you will ever want to read that list back into your program, because if you do the simple str() functions representation of your list might not be the best. In that case you might want to write a functiuon to save the list item by item, and another to load the list back again. But if you just want to store the values to read in an editor the str() function will probably be just fine.
