I am trying to simply write a list of values to txt file in one column. I would then like to add another list in a second column.
That's going to be quite awkward to do. Files like to be written one complete line at a time. The normal approach would be to build up the table structure in memory and then write the entire table out in one go. If it won't fit in memory use a simple database like SQLite to build the table then print that out row by row.
Somehow they only appear as one long row.
You need to write newlines but you probably also want to use string formatting to control the amount of space required so that your columns line up.
