Answer 1

If your results are in a list of lists called results, and your header titles are in a list called headers you can transpose it like this:

transposed = zip(headers, *results)

Then output as normal, with something like:

import csv
csv_writer = csv.writer(filename)
csv_writer.writerows(transposed)
