Why is there a blank row after every CSV row?

Short answer. The writer adds a line ending, and Windows text mode adds another.

How do you fix it?

Open the file with newline="".

Remember

Always use newline=""
Mode w erases old rows

A blank row after every CSV row? Here is why. The csv writer adds its own line ending. On Windows, text mode adds one more. Newline equals empty quotes stops it. Always use newline equals empty quotes. The mode w erases old rows.
