Export a simple Dictionary into Excel file in python

Question

I am new to python. I have a simple dictionary for which the key and values are as follows

dict1 = {"number of storage arrays": 45, "number of ports":2390,......}

i need to get them in a excel sheet as follows

number of storage arrays 45
number of ports          2390

I have a very big dictionary.

Sassikant,

This will open a file named output.csv and output the contents of your dictionary into a spreadsheet. The first column will have the key, the second the value.

import csv

with open('output.csv', 'wb') as output:
    writer = csv.writer(output)
    for key, value in dict1.iteritems():
        writer.writerow([key, value])

You can open the csv with excel and save it to any format you'd like.
