This short course teaches how to read and write data to CSV files using Python’s built in csv module and the pandas library. You’ll learn how to handle standard and non-standard data such as CSV files without headers, or files containing delimiters in the data.
At the end of the course there will be an optional quiz to check your learning progress.

I really like the tip about using the DictReader . Never knew that existed. I routinely read large CSV datasets. So this will be a big time saver and improve readability of my code.

I’m not sure why, but my csv’s printed rows on every other line. I was able to fix it by adding a lineterminator to the employee_writer definition:
employee_writer = csv.DictWriter(employee_file, fieldnames=fieldnames, lineterminator = '\n')
