from __future__ import print_function
import openturns as ot

[5]:

# create a sample from a 2-d gaussian distribution
sample = ot.Normal(2).getSample(5)
sample.setDescription(['u1', 'u2'])

[6]:

# write a CSV file
# warning the default separator is ';'
sample.exportToCSVFile('sample.csv', ',')

[7]:

# print the content of the written file
with open('sample.csv', 'r') as f:
    for line in f.readlines():
        print(line, end='')
