In Python, handling CSV files is straightforward using the built-in csv module for reading and writing tabular data, or pandas for advanced analysis—essential for data processing tasks like importing/exporting datasets in interviews.

# Reading CSV with csv module (basic)
import csv
with open('data.csv', 'r') as file:
    reader = csv.reader(file)
    data = list(reader)  # data = [['Name', 'Age'], ['Alice', '30'], ['Bob', '25']]

# Writing CSV with csv module
import csv
with open('output.csv', 'w', newline='') as file:
    writer = csv.writer(file)
    writer.writerow(['Name', 'Age'])  # Header
    writer.writerows([['Alice', 30], ['Bob', 25]])  # Data rows

# Advanced: Reading with pandas (handles headers, missing values)
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')  # df = DataFrame with columns 'Name', 'Age'
print(df.head())  # Output: First 5 rows preview

# Writing with pandas
df.to_csv('output.csv', index=False)  # Saves without row indices
