Why are these numbers broken into their digits?

Still not sure what you are looking for, because you are ambiguous in the use of column, but I'll see what I can do.

If we take this code, which uses your 'for' statement:

import csv

cellContent = ['Peter', 'Paul', 'Mary', 'Jane']

with open('csv_file.csv', 'w') as new_file:
    writer = csv.writer(new_file)
    for cell in cellContent:
        writer.writerow(cell)

you end up with a file content of

Output:
P,e,t,e,r

P,a,u,l

M,a,r,y

J,a,n,e

Not what you are looking for I take it, plus you have an extra line between rows. We can avoid the extra lines by adding newline='' to the open() function, and remove the commas using the split() function. The code now looks like:

import csv

cellContent = ['Peter', 'Paul', 'Mary', 'Jane']

with open('csv_file.csv', 'w', newline='') as new_file:
    writer = csv.writer(new_file)
    for cell in cellContent:
        writer.writerow(cell.split(','))

and the file looks like

Output:
Peter
Paul
Mary
Jane
