I have two lists:
list_seq = [sequence1, sequence2, sequence3, sequence4] list_name = [name1, name2, name3, name4]
I can zip them to a dictionary:
dict_s_n = dict(zip(list_seq & list_name))
How do I generate a fasta file from these two lists or the dictionary?

You just need to write the name and sequence to a fasta format
>name1
sequence1
>name2
sequence2
..
..
..
ofile = open("my_fasta.txt", "w")
for i in range(len(list_seq)):
ofile.write(">" + list_name[i] + "\n" +list_seq[i] + "\n")
#do not forget to close it
ofile.close()
Great! I didn't think it was that easy. Many thanks, tangming2005!

Nice website!
Hi ! I would just add ofile.close() to your solution, tangming2005, as you did not used the "with" statement to open "my_fasta.txt".
You are right! Do not forget to close ..

This is in python, isn't it? I'm adding the tag and editing the title to make it more clear.
