+```py
+import csv
+```
 
+## Read and write to CSV
 
+### Read
+
+Use standard Pythonic "read" syntax:
+
+```py
+with open('./path.csv', mode="r") as csv_file:
+    reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
+```
+
+### Write
+
+Use standard Pythonic "read" syntax:
+
+```py
+with open('./new_csv_file.csv', mode="w") as csv_file:
+    write = csv.writer(csv_file)
+```
+
+The above will create the file as well, it doesn't need to be pre-existing.
