Writing a pandas DataFrame to CSV file

Question

I have a dataframe in pandas which I would like to write to a CSV file. I am doing this using:

df.to_csv(\'out.csv\')

And getting the error

Answer 1

To delimit by a tab you can use the sep argument of to_csv:

df.to_csv(file_name, sep='\t')

To use a specific encoding (e.g. 'utf-8') use the encoding argument:

df.to_csv(file_name, sep='\t', encoding='utf-8')
