Why are these numbers broken into their digits?

[Pedroski55]

I am using Python 3.5.2 and its csv module. I want to write to a csv file. To begin with, I just create a list:

 # open a file
outputFile = open(pathToFile + 'outputFile.csv', 'w')
outputFileWriter = csv.writer(outputFile)

# create a list just to test the writer
cellContent = []

for h in range(0, maxRow):
	cell = str(h)
	cellContent = cellContent + [cell]

then, I want to write the list to a csv file:

# write the list to the rows just to test
for h in range(1, maxRow):
	outputFileWriter.writerow(cellContent[h])

This works. The numbers are written to the rows, but when the number has 2 digits, each digit appears in a separate column. I need all the numbers in column 1.

Edit: Also, if I use words, I still get each letter in a separate column:

cellContent = ['Peter', 'Paul', 'Mary', 'Jane']
for cell in cellContent:
	outputFileWriter.writerow(cell)

	
11
9
9
9
outputFile.close()

Any tips or ideas?
