How to force a new line when appending to a csv using python pandas .to_csv

Question

When appending to csv, my first line is starting on the existing last line rather than a new line.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and after a god bit of searching, I didn't find any simple/elegant solution. The minimal fix that worked for me is:

import pandas as pd

with open('foo.csv') as f:
    f.write('\n')    
mydf.to_csv('foo.csv', index = False, header = False, mode='a')
