Hello Experts

When I am writing list of dictionaries to CSV file, the key 'schedule' has 
value 'Mar 2012' becomes Mar-12. I really do not have clue why thats happening. 
Below is the code.

dic_1 = {'action': 'permit',
  'dst-address': 'maxprddb-scan-167, maxprddb-scan-168, maxprddb-scan-169',
  'from': 'DMZ Web',
  'id': '1000',
  'log': 'Enable, session-init',
  'name': 'Test Rule Temporary ',
  'service': '1521, Oraccle-Maximo-Scan-1550, PING-ALL',
  'src-address': 'sparkeregap1, sparkeregap2',
  'to': 'Trust'}

Missing '=' in the next line.

dic_2 {'action': 'permit',
  'dst-address': 'sparkcas01, sparkcas02, email.ab.spark.net',
  'from': 'DMZ Web',
  'id': '4000',
  'log': 'Enable, session-init',
  'schedule': 'Mar 2012',
  'service': 'SMTP',
  'src-address': 'sparkeregap1, sparkeregap2',
  'to': 'Trust'}

  my_list =
  [{'to': 'Trust', 'service': '1521, Oraccle-Maximo-Scan-1550, PING-ALL', 
'from': 'DMZ Web', 'dst-address': 'maxprddb-scan-167, maxprddb-scan-168, 
maxprddb-scan-169', 'name': 'Test Rule Temporary ', 'action': 'permit', 'id': 
'1000', 'src-address': 'sparkeregap1, sparkeregap2', 'log': 'Enable, 
session-init'}, {'to': 'Trust', 'from': 'DMZ Web', 'dst-address': 'sparkcas01, 
sparkcas02, email.ab.spark.net', 'service': 'SMTP', 'schedule': 'Mar 2012', 
'action': 'permit', 'id': '4000', 'src-address': 'sparkeregap1, sparkeregap2', 
'log': 'Enable, session-init'}]

  pol_keys = ['id', 'name', 'from', 'to', 'src-address', 'dst-address', 
'service', 'action', 'nat_status', 'nat_type', 'nat_src_ip', 'nat_dst_ip', 
'nat_dst_port', 'log', 'schedule']

with open('test.csv', 'wb') as f:
        w = csv.DictWriter(f, pol_keys)
        w.writeheader()
        w.writerows(my_list)

It works OK for me.

(I'm assuming that you're reading the CSV file in a text editor, not
some other application that might be trying to be "clever" by
"interpreting" what it thinks looks a date as a date and then
displaying it differently...)
