import random
import string
import time

start = time.time()

f = open('tempOut.txt', 'w')

for i in range(0,100000):
    line = ''
    for j in range(0,5000):
        line += str(random.choice(string.letters))

    f.write(line + "n")
    line = ''


f.close()

end = time.time()

print "Elapsed: " + str(end - start)
