import csv

with open("file.csv", 'w') as myfile:
     wr = csv.writer(myfile, quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
     wr.writerow(mylist)

Вот безопасная версия Alex Martelli's:

import csv

with open('filename', 'wb') as myfile:
    wr = csv.writer(myfile, quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
    wr.writerow(mylist)

вы должны обязательно использовать CSV-модуль, но, скорее всего, вам нужно написать unicode. Для тех, кому нужно написать unicode, это класс из примера страницы, который вы можете использовать в качестве модуля util:

import csv, codecs, cStringIO

class UTF8Recoder:
    """
    Iterator that reads an encoded stream and reencodes the input to UTF-8
    """
    def __init__(self, f, encoding):
        self.reader = codecs.getreader(encoding)(f)

def __iter__(self):
    return self

def next(self):
    return self.reader.next().encode("utf-8")

class UnicodeReader:
    """
    A CSV reader which will iterate over lines in the CSV file "f",
    which is encoded in the given encoding.
    """

def __init__(self, f, dialect=csv.excel, encoding="utf-8", **kwds):
    f = UTF8Recoder(f, encoding)
    self.reader = csv.reader(f, dialect=dialect, **kwds)

def next(self):
    row = self.reader.next()
    return [unicode(s, "utf-8") for s in row]

def __iter__(self):
    return self

class UnicodeWriter:
    """
    A CSV writer which will write rows to CSV file "f",
    which is encoded in the given encoding.
"""

def __init__(self, f, dialect=csv.excel, encoding="utf-8", **kwds):
    # Redirect output to a queue
    self.queue = cStringIO.StringIO()
    self.writer = csv.writer(self.queue, dialect=dialect, **kwds)
    self.stream = f
    self.encoder = codecs.getincrementalencoder(encoding)()

def writerow(self, row):
    self.writer.writerow([s.encode("utf-8") for s in row])
    # Fetch UTF-8 output from the queue ...
    data = self.queue.getvalue()
    data = data.decode("utf-8")
    # ... and reencode it into the target encoding
    data = self.encoder.encode(data)
    # write to the target stream
    self.stream.write(data)
    # empty queue
    self.queue.truncate(0)

def writerows(self, rows):
    for row in rows:
        self.writerow(row)

Для другого подхода вы можете использовать DataFrame в pandas : и он может легко сбрасывать данные в csv так же, как код ниже:

import pandas
df = pandas.DataFrame(data={"col1": list_1, "col2": list_2})
df.to_csv("./file.csv", sep=',',index=False)
