When I try to write a field that includes whitespace in it, it gets split into multiple fields on the space. What's causing this? It's driving me insane. Thanks

data = open("file.csv", "wb")
w = csv.writer(data)
w.writerow(['word1', 'word2'])
w.writerow(['word 1', 'word2'])
data.close()

I'll get 2 fields(word1,word2) for first example and 3(word,1,word2) for the second.
