Python- Why are newlines "\n" being created when I don't want them to?

I am writing strings to a text document using python 2.7

I am not adding then "\n" newline character until the very end of each line, yet when I open up the text document, newlines are being created on their own. What am I doing wrong?

My code looks like this:

w.write(ID + "    " + Name + "    " + x + "     " + y + " " + "\n")
w.write(ID2 + "    " + Name2 + "    " + x2 + "     " + y2 + " " + "\n")

My text document looks like this:

1----Polyline1----0.567

----0.837

2----Polyline2----0.928

----0.253

^^^Those are spaces, not dashes

Because you forgot to strip the newlines from x and x2 after reading them.

Also, ␣ and ␢.
