How to write to CSV line by line in python

Question

I have data which is being accessed via http request and is sent back by the server in a comma separated format, I have the following code :

site= 'www.example.com'
hdr = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}
req = urllib2.Request(site,headers=hdr)
page = urllib2.urlopen(req)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
soup = soup.get_text()
text=str(soup)

The content of text is as follows:

april,2,5,7
may,3,5,8
june,4,7,3
july,5,6,9

How can I save this data into a CSV file. I know I can do something along the lines of the following to iterate line by line:

import StringIO
s = StringIO.StringIO(text)
for line in s:

But i'm unsure how to now properly write each line to CSV

Answer 1

The simple way of doing this will be as follows:

import StringIO
s = StringIO.StringIO(text)
with open('fileName.csv', 'w') as f:
    for line in s:
        f.write(line)
