Writing embedded list to CSV in Python

I have a method in a Python app to write a list of records to a CSV file. Each record is a "football player", which is really just a dictionary. But one of the dictionary items contains a list of weekly scores. I want to write out to CSV a record for each player, and then flatten the list of scores and write that out, too.

My code:

def write_csv_file(filename, year, list_of_players):
    print str(datetime.now()) + ' Writing file {0}'.format(OUTPUT_CSV_PATH + filename + '.csv')
    print list_of_players
    with open(OUTPUT_CSV_PATH + filename + '.csv', 'w+') as f:

        writer = csv.writer(f, quotechar='"', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL, lineterminator = '\n')

        writer.writerow(['YEAR', 'FILENAME', 'PLAYER_KEY', 'PLAYER_NAME', 'SEASON_TOTAL', 'CALCULATED_SEASON_TOTAL', 'MEAN', 'MEDIAN', 'STD_DEVIATION', 'CV',
            'WK1', 'WK2', 'WK3', 'WK4', 'WK5', 'WK6', 'WK7', 'WK8', 'WK9', 'WK10', 'WK11', 'WK12', 'WK13', 'WK14', 'WK15', 'WK16'])
        for item in list_of_players:
            writer.writerow([year, filename, item['player_key'], item['player_name'], item['season_total'],
                item['calculated_season_total'], item['mean'], item['median'], item['std_deviation'], item['coefficient_of_variation'],
                #item['performance_score'],
                item['scores'][0],
                item['scores'][1],
                item['scores'][2],
                item['scores'][3],
                item['scores'][4],
                item['scores'][5],
                item['scores'][6],
                item['scores'][7],
                item['scores'][8],
                item['scores'][9],
                item['scores'][10],
                item['scores'][11],
                item['scores'][12],
                item['scores'][13],
                item['scores'][14],
                item['scores'][15]
                ])

It's the handling of item['scores'] that I'm sure there's a better way. I tried getting a list comprehension to wo

One quick win for readability would be to rename item to player. Another improvement would be to put each field on its own line, since the long lines vastly exceed the 79-character limit suggested by PEP 8.

For the 16 scores, you can write…

writer.writerow([
    'YEAR',
    'FILENAME',
    'PLAYER_KEY',
    'PLAYER_NAME',
    'SEASON_TOTAL',
    'CALCULATED_SEASON_TOTAL',
    'MEAN',
    'MEDIAN',
    'STD_DEVIATION',
    'CV'
] + ['WK{0}'.format(i + 1) for i in range(16)])

for player in list_of_players:
    writer.writerow([
        year,
        filename,
        player['player_key'],
        player['player_name'],
        player['season_total'],
        player['calculated_season_total'],
        player['mean'],
        player['median'],
        player['std_deviation'],
        player['coefficient_of_variation']
    ] + player['scores'])
