convert each row in csv to a markdown file in python

csv-to-mkdown-files.py

import csv

def toMarkdown(item):
    newTemp = "---"+"\n"+"layout: sculpture"+"\n"+"pageId: "+item[0]+"\n"+"uid: "+item[1]+"\n"
    newTemp += "title: "+item[2]+"\n"+"location: "+item[3]+"\n"+"completionDate: "+item[4]+"\n"
    newTemp += "description: "+item[5]+"\n"+"imageId: "+item[6]+"\n"
    newTemp += "---"+"\n"
    return newTemp

with open('file.csv', 'rb') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter='|', quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE)
    for row in reader:
        with open('temp/o' + str(row[0]) + '.md', 'w') as output:
            output.write(toMarkdown(row))

if you get a issue with encoding, simply change
with open('file.csv', 'rb')
to
with open('file.csv', 'r')

as that first line reads the file in binary.
