python with csv writer code example

Example 1: create csv file python

# This action requires the 'csv' module
import csv

# The basic usage is to first define the rows of the csv file:
row_list = [["SN", "Name", "Contribution"],
             [1, "Linus Torvalds", "Linux Kernel"],
             [2, "Tim Berners-Lee", "World Wide Web"],
             [3, "Guido van Rossum", "Python Programming"]]

# And then use the following to create the csv file:
with open('protagonist.csv', 'w', newline='') as file:
    writer = csv.writer(file)
    writer.writerows(row_list)
# This will create a csv file in the current directory

Example 2: csv python write

import csv

with open('names.csv', 'w') as csvfile:
    fieldnames = ['first_name', 'last_name']
    writer = csv.DictWriter(csvfile, fieldnames=fieldnames)

    writer.writeheader()
    writer.writerow({'first_name': 'Baked', 'last_name': 'Beans'})
    writer.writerow({'first_name': 'Lovely', 'last_name': 'Spam'})
    writer.writerow({'first_name': 'Wonderful', 'last_name': 'Spam'})
