Python + Create csv file on Windows

Question

I want to create the csv file - output.csv

I run this python code ( version 3.4.3 ) from my Visual studio 10

import csv
RESULT = ['linux','solaris','unix','aix','win']
resultFile = open("output.csv",'wb')
wr = csv.writer(resultFile, dialect='excel')
wr.writerow(RESULT)

but from unclear reason I get this errors

 TypeError Occurred
 'str' dose not support the buffer interface

this error is after the wr.writerow(RESULT) line ( with red sign )

what its wrong here

remark - I must to say - when I write the wr. ( the last line ) then after the dot "." I not see auto completion

Is there a reason for writing in binary format? `'wb'` instead of `'w'`. — Peter Wood, May 19 '15 at 14:16
well - when I remove the "b" its created the csv but its empty !!! — maihabunash, May 19 '15 at 14:24

Try changing the way you write your result:

wr.writerow(bytes(RESULT, 'UTF-8'))
