How to Read and Write CSV Files in Python

Introduction
CSV dialects
6. Dialects for CSV writing
Summary

Instruction

Great work!

The good news is that using dialects when writing data into a CSV file is pretty much the same. Take a look:

data_to_write = ...
with open('filename.csv', mode='w', newline='') as csv_file:
  csv_writer = csv.writer(csv_file, dialect='excel-tab')
  csv_writer.writerows(data_to_write)

Again, all we need to do is add the dialect parameter when invoking csv.writer() or csv.DictWriter().

Exercise

Write the data from the template into a CSV file named houses.csv. Add a header row to the first line. Use the unix CSV dialect.

Stuck? Here's a hint!

To write the header row, use: csv_writer.writeheader().
