I know it has been a long time since this question has been asked but I thought I might add to everyone else's answer and share a blog post that I think explain the solution in a very concise way.

Here is the link

Open a file for writing

employ_data = open('/tmp/EmployData.csv', 'w')

Create the csv writer object

csvwriter = csv.writer(employ_data)
count = 0
for emp in emp_data:
      if count == 0:
             header = emp.keys()
             csvwriter.writerow(header)
             count += 1
      csvwriter.writerow(emp.values())

Make sure to close the file in order to save the contents

employ_data.close()
