And even if you have things to escape or format correctly, the stdlib
has a "csv" module that makes this trivially easy:

  data = [
    (1, 3.14, "hello"),
    (2, 1.41, "goodbye"),
    ]
  from csv import writer
  with open("out.csv", "wb") as f:
    w = writer(f)
    w.writerows(data)
    # for row in data:
    #     w.writerow(data)
