I am new to the realm of Python. I've been playing with some I/O operations on CSV files lately, and I found two methods in the csv module with very similar names - writerow() and writerows(). The difference wasn't very clear to me from the documentation. I tried searching for some examples but they seem to have used them almost interchangeably.
Could anyone help clarify a little bit?

writer() function is used to create a writer object. The writer. writerow() function is then used to write single rows to the CSV file.
csv file. The writerow method writes a row of data into the specified file. It is possible to write all data in one shot. The writerows method writes all given rows to the CSV file.
Answer: On the Data tab, in the Get & Transform Data group, click From Text/CSV. In the Import Data dialog box, locate and double-click the text file that you want to import, and click Import. In the preview dialog box, you have several options: Select Load if you want to load the data directly to a new worksheet.
writerow takes an iterable of cells to write:
writerow(["foo", "bar", "spam"])
->
foo,bar,spam
writerows takes an iterable of iterables of cells to write:
writerows([["foo", "bar", "spam"],
["oof", "rab", "maps"],
["writerow", "isn't", "writerows"]])
->
foo,bar,spam
oof,rab,maps,
writerow,isn't,writerows
So writerow takes 1-dimensional data (one row), and writerows takes 2-dimensional data (multiple rows).
