Question

I am working on a small project,where one of the step is to write on a csv file a list of data.
I am looping through a list,and fetching specific data and writing it to a csv.
The problem is when the write operation is being processed it removes previous entries of the csv file.My csv writing method is as follows:
and an example

def csv_writer(data_list,file_path):
    import csv
    file_p = open(file_path, "wb")
    write_pattern = csv.writer(file_p, delimiter=",", quotechar=",")
    write_pattern.writerow(data_list)
    file_p.close() 

An example data list is:

data_list = ['a', '', 'a', 'a', 'd', 'e']

And I am trying to have data in the file as follows:

a,,a,d,e
a,b,c,d,e
a,g.j,l,m

Thanks in advance.

Maybe open the file in append mode?

file_p = open(file_path, "ab")
