Most file-like objects should support a writelines() method which
takes an iterable and should save you the trouble of joining all the
content (and as Chris noted, you don't need the .close() since the
with handles it) so the whole thing would condense to:
with open('index.txt', 'w') as f:
f.writelines(data)
