I have a JSON file I want to convert to a CSV file. How can I do this with Python?

I tried:

import c

This is a modification of @MikeRepass's answer. This version writes the CSV to a file, and works for both Python 2 and Python 3.

import csv,json
input_file="data.json"
output_file="data.csv"
with open(input_file) as f:
    content=json.load(f)
try:
    context=open(output_file,'w',newline='') # Python 3
except TypeError:
    context=open(output_file,'wb') # Python 2
with context as file:
    writer=csv.writer(file)
    writer.writerow(content[0].keys()) # header row
    for row in content:
        writer.writerow(row.values())
