How to write current datetime to a csv file in python?

Question

I used following code for writing the datetime to a csv file.

csvdata=[datetime.datetime.now()]
csvFile=open("Datetime.csv","w")
Fileout=csv.writer(csvFile, delimiter=',',quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
Fileout.writerow(csvdata)

Eventhough the file is creating it have no data in it.What should i do in extra for getting the data in csv.

Answer 1

The problem is that the writing of the file is buffered, and does not happen immediately. You should close your file descriptor to flushes any unwritten data:

csvFile.close()

Or just use with statement (recommended):

csvdata = [datetime.datetime.now()]
with open("Datetime.csv","w") as csvFile:
    Fileout = csv.writer(csvFile, delimiter=',', quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
    Fileout.writerow(csvdata)
