list - Filter return results printed in text file python -

using code:

from pysnap import snapchat pprint import pprint  s = snapchat()  username = raw_input('enter username: ') password = raw_input('enter password: ') s.login(username, password) friends = s.get_friends()  newfile = open("newfile.txt", "a") pprint(friends, newfile) 

it prints return / results of get_friends() great, want.

but.

the results this:

{u'can_see_custom_stories': true,   u'direction': u'outgoing',   u'display': u'',   u'name': u'a7twini', #a7twini being username here   u'type': 0}, 

the thing want display is:

a7twini <nextusername> <nextusername> etc.. 

is there way "filter" these results? making sure name ends in text file?

i hope can me, thanks!

edit: asked get_friends() function

def get_friends(self):     """get friends     returns list of friends.     """     return self.get_updates().get('friends', []) 

you can print name entry each friend. assuming friends list:

for friend in friends:     newfile.write(friend[u'name'] + "\n") 

or use list comprehension:

newfile.writelines([friend[u'name'] + "\n" friend in friends])
