replace your first bit with this. it's not super pretty but it will give you a csv format.

with open('coord') as infile, open('coordv', 'w') as outfile:

        outfile.write(",") # trailing comma shouldn't matter

if you want the outfile to have everything on different lines you could add outfile.write("\n") at the end of the for loop, but i dont think your code that follows this will work with it like that.
