How do i print a json output into a specific file path?

Question

Im having troubles saving the output into a specific file path like a csv file output just that my codes are simpler and it have 'with open(xxx)'.

So here are my codes. How do i print 'out' into a specific file path e.g /home/pi/Desktop/sample.json?

    import csv
    import json

    with open(csvfile, "a") as output:
       fieldnames = ['Name', 'Number', 'ID', 'Address']
       writer = csv.writer(output,delimiter = ',', lineterminator="\n")
       writer.writerows([fieldnames])

The easiest option is to leave you Python code as it is and use the power of the shell!

Assuming the script is in you current working directory, try this:

python myscript.py > sample.json

This will redirect the output (stdout) of your script to a file automatically creating it.
