Introduction
Writing CSV files
Instruction
Good job! You can also provide additional parameters to csv.writer or csv.DictWriter and specify your own delimiter, quote character, or quoting style. For example:
with open('books.csv', mode='w', newline='') as csv_file:
csv_writer = csv.DictWriter(csv_file, fieldnames=['Author', 'Title', 'Pages'], delimiter=';')
for row in data_to_save:
csv_writer.writerow(row)
On line 2, we added an optional parameter: delimiter=';'. As a result, our DictWriter will use semicolons to separate fields.
Exercise
Modify the template code so that it uses a semicolon as its delimiter.
Stuck? Here's a hint!
Add an optional delimiter parameter inside the csv.writer() function.
