That doesn't look terribly cryptic to me, but maybe I'm used to it.

It should work in 2.4, I think.  Though, I haven't tried 2.5 yet so I
can't say from experience whether 2.4 is better than 2.5.  Anyway,

  f.write(' '.join(map(str, data)) + '\n')

should work in the whole 2.x series, if I'm not mistaken.
