Python Language Writing to CSV from String or List
Introduction
Writing to a .csv file is not unlike writing to a regular file in most regards, and is fairly straightforward. I will, to the best of my ability, cover the easiest, and most efficient approach to the problem.
Parameters
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| open ("/path/", "mode") | Specify the path to your CSV file |
| open (path, "mode") | Specify mode to open file in (read, write, etc.) |
| csv.writer(file, delimiter) | Pass opened CSV file here |
| csv.writer(file, delimiter=' ') | Specify delimiter character or pattern |
Remarks
open( path, "wb")
"wb" - Write mode.
The b parameter in "wb" we have used, is necessary only if you want to open it in binary mode, which is needed only in some operating systems like Windows.
csv.writer ( csv_file, delimiter=',' )
Here the delimiter we have used, is ,, because we want each cell of data in a row, to contain the first name, last name, and age respectively.
Since our list is split along the , too, it proves rather convenient for us.
