If you're using Python 2.x on Windows you need to change your line open('test.csv', 'w') to open('test.csv', 'wb'). That is you should open the file as a binary file.
However, as stated by others, the file interface has changed in Python 3.x.
import csv
hello = [['Me','You'],['293', '219'],['13','15']]
length = len(hello[0])
with open('test1.csv', 'wb') as testfile:
csv_writer = csv.writer(testfile)
for y in range(length):
csv_writer.writerow([x[y] for x in hello])
The way you use the csv module changed in Python 3 in several respects (docs), at least with respect to how you need to open the file. Anyway, something like
import csv
with open('test.csv', 'w', newline='') as fp:
a = csv.writer(fp, delimiter=',')
data = [['Me', 'You'],
['293', '219'],
['54', '13']]
a.writerows(data)
