csv writer is writing blank lines between rows (python 2.7)

So when I use csv writer to print out a list of arguments it prints blank line between rows.So something like this:

My question is what am I doing wrong that makes csv writer produce the blank lines. Here is my code:

row_count = 0
with open(config['LeadImportFilePath']['LeadImportFilePath'] + lead_import_name, 'w') as f:
    writer = csv.writer(f)
    writer.writerow(config['Headers']['LeadImportHeaders'].split(','))
    while row_count <= record_rows:
        person_row = [GetCampaignInformation.publisher_id, GetCampaignInformation.source_id, GetPersonInformation.first_name[row_count],
                      GetPersonInformation.last_name[row_count], GetPersonInformation.GetEmail(), GetPersonInformation.phone[row_count],
                      GetCampaignInformation.GetIndustry(), GetCampaignInformation.GetJobTitles(), GetPersonInformation.company_name[row_count],
                      GetPersonInformation.address_1[row_count], GetPersonInformation.address_2[row_count], GetPersonInformation.city[row_count],
                      GetPersonInformation.state[row_count], GetPersonInformation.zip[row_count], GetCampaignInformation.country, GetCampaignInformation.GetCompanySize(),
                      lead_create_date, GetCampaignInformation.ReturnAsset(), campaign_id] + GetCampaignInformation.GetCustomQuestion()
        writer.writerow(person_row)
        row_count += 1

I also get this error: person_row = [GetCampaignInformation.publisher_id, GetCampaignInformation.source_id, GetPersonInformation.first_name[row_count], IndexError: list index out of range

Adding wb instead of w on the with open line like the documentation said to do fixed this problem. Who knew that python documentation was correct.

with open(config['LeadImportFilePath']['LeadImportFilePath'] + lead_import_name, 'wb') as f:

Here is the documentation for this problem. Read csv.writer section

Maybe you have in CustomQuestion "\n" in the end. Remove last char in CustomQuestiom and try again
