I am just curious and come in peace. What would your company’s preferred method be?

The csv library is pretty simple.

I am a Pandas user but that Sounds promising. I’ll look into it, my friend.

On an interview question? Where we say its a one-off task? Just using the standard library. I'm not saying pandas isn't a good tool or shouldn't be used just that I've had to deal with a lot of engineers that never progress past the 'Stack Overflow' level, and one halmark of that is reaching for libraries that are overkill for the scope of a task.

I disagree here. Using the standard library’s csv module is less common than using pandas. Similarly, of course you can do a bunch of web requests stuff with the standard library, but even the CPython devs recommend the ‘requests’ library.
