Python snippet to export data to a file in a particular format

Output files are generated by
- Iterating over the key-value pairs of the dictionary
- Writing out the dictionary values (1d float arrays) so there are two
spaces between array elements unless:
- The column index + 1 is divisible by a constant (``cols_per_line``)
- or we've reached the end of the array
in which case we write a newline character.
