list to csv file python code example

Example 1: how to convert list into csv in python

import pandas as pd    

list1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
df = pd.DataFrame(list1)
df.to_csv('filename.csv', index=False)

#index =false removes unnecessary indexing/numbering in the csv

Example 2: how to save python list to file

import json
a = [1,2,3]
with open('test.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(json.dumps(a))

#Now read the file back into a Python list object
with open('test.txt', 'r') as f:
    a = json.loads(f.read())
