Saving and loading object name location and rotation of a selection

Question

I would like to know how I can save selected object names, location and rotation using Python in Blender 2.8 in a CSV.

And then using the same CSV apply this information to another blend file with the same objects in different locations in a new frame.

(it's not about bones it's about normal meshes).

Beeing new to Blender Python scripting, I hope for some coding hints here.

so far i got this (works in console but not in script file)

import bpy
import os
ob_active = bpy.context.selected_objects
for obj in ob_active:
    print(obj.name,obj.location,obj.rotation_euler)

Surely this has been asked before?

Rather than spending any more time searching for the elusive dupe, to the export part, I'm sure it's out there

Here is an example using f-string formatting.

import bpy
context = bpy.context

def sfmt(s):
    return f"{s :10s}"

def vfmt(vec):
    return ", ".join(f"{v : 10.4f}" for v in vec)

for obj in sorted(context.selected_objects, key=lambda o: o.name):
    output = ",".join((
            sfmt(obj.name), 
            vfmt(obj.location), 
            vfmt(obj.rotation_euler),
            ))
    print(output)

Output of default scene, remember rotations are in radians.
