Answer 1

first transpose your input by using zip()

>>> zip(*lol)
[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]

and after that just pass it to csw.writer e.g.

with open("test.csv", "wb") as f:
    fileWriter = csv.writer(f, delimiter=',',quotechar='|', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
    for row in zip(*lol):
        fileWriter.writerow(row)

... which results to:

$ cat test.csv 
1,4
2,5
3,6
