csv.HasColumnNames = True

success = csv.SetColumnName(0,"year")
success = csv.SetColumnName(1,"color")
success = csv.SetColumnName(2,"country")
success = csv.SetColumnName(3,"food")

success = csv.SetCell(0,0,"2001")
success = csv.SetCell(0,1,"red")
success = csv.SetCell(0,2,"France")
success = csv.SetCell(0,3,"cheese")

success = csv.SetCell(1,0,"2005")
success = csv.SetCell(1,1,"blue")
success = csv.SetCell(1,2,"United States")
success = csv.SetCell(1,3,"hamburger")

# Write the CSV to a string and display:

csvDoc = csv.SaveToString()
print(csvDoc)

# Save the CSV to a file:
success = csv.SaveFile("out.csv")
if (success != True):
    print(csv.LastErrorText)
