You are printing a list. You are not passing an 'array' to anything.
What exavctly does the other program expect to see. An array object - as 
defined in what language? or a list of strings? or something else.

It also prints the string representation of your list.
If you want to print the contents of the list use a loop:

for item in arrayname: print item

That will give you the items each on a separate line but without the []

If you want it on a single line add a comma:

for item in arrayname: print item,  # python 2, python 3 is different

And if you don't want spaces use join():

print ''.join(arrayname)

See above. but without knowing what your other program expect an 'array' 
to look like we can't say what is best.

That suggests that you might actually want to create an html document?
If you need a file its best to create a file rather than rely on print 
statements. IMHO...
