I am trying to write three lines of text to a text file. The code and the resulting file is this:
import csv
def writer(data, path):
with open(path, "w") as w_obj:
to_write = csv.writer(w_obj, delimiter=",")
for row in data:
to_write.writerow(row)
if __name__ == "__main__":
data = ["first,last,state".split(","),
"dim,pod,oh".split(","),
"john,jones,mi".split(",")]
path = "csv_data.txt"
writer(data, path)
first,last,state
dim,pod,oh
john,jones,mi
Why does it add a newline after each row?
Also, the tutorial I am using says to use newline='' in the open function. What is it supposed to do and why is my Python 2.7 not recognizing it?
