## csv
import csv
with open('example.csv',mode='w',newline='') as file:
writer=csv.writer(file)
writer.writerow(['name','age'])
writer.writerow(['Anshul',32])
with open('example.csv',mode='r') as file:
reader=csv.reader(file)
for row in reader:
print(row)Browser practice only — full example needs Python on your computer (files, Flask, threads, etc.).
