在写入文件时删除多余的换行符

Question

这个小脚本将关键字写入文件，但在每个关键字之间添加一个额外的换行符。我该如何让它停下来？即代替

Apple
Banana
Crayon 

我想要

Apple
Banana
Crayon

我试着在谷歌上搜索"listwrite"，但无济于事。

我确信这是一件非常简单的事情，但我想不通。

def listwrite(output_file,thelist):
    for item in thelist:
        item.encode('utf-8')
        output_file.write("%snn" % item)

在代码中，listwrite被定义为一个函数。对于thelist中的每个item，它都会写入item，后面跟两个换行符。要删除多余的行，只需删除其中一个n s。

def listwrite(output_file,thelist):
    for item in thelist:
        item.encode('utf-8')
        output_file.write("%sn" % item)
