Creating points with attributes from coordinates in ArcPy

I know how to create points by coordinates with arcpy using the following code:

import arcpy

ptList =[[20.000,43.000],[25.500, 45.085],[26.574, 46.025], [28.131, 48.124]]
pt = arcpy.Point()
ptGeoms = []
for p in ptList:
 pt.X = p[0]
 pt.Y = p[1]
 ptGeoms.append(arcpy.PointGeometry(pt))

arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(ptGeoms, r"C:Temptest.shp")

But in my case, every coordinate pair also has an additional text attribute that needs to be written to the shapefile. What would be the approach?

  Always use the SpatialReference parameter when constructing PointGeometry from Point, or you risk losing precision during construction.

I suggest to use insert cursor, make sure that the field allready exists in the feature class (AddField if necessary)

ptList =[["value1",(20.000,43.000)],["value2",(25.500, 45.085)],["value3",(26.574, 46.025)], ["value4",(28.131, 48.124)]]

cursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor('C:/temp/test.shp',
 ['FieldName', 'SHAPE@XY'])

# Insert new rows that include the field value and a x,y coordinate

for row in ptList:
 cursor.insertRow(row)

# Delete cursor object
del cursor
