Ok making some progress by changing the 'wb' to 'w'


err no.

unstuck again.

import csv

csvfile= open('StudentListToSort.csv', newline='')
spamreader = csv.reader(csvfile,delimiter=',',quotechar='|')
outfile = open('outfile.csv','w')

for row in spamreader:

     if row[4] == '6':
         print("".join([row[0],'@email.com']),row[1])
         email = "".join([row[0],'@email.com'])
         output = email,row[1]
         outfile.write(output)

outfile.close()

when I start to concatenate the results, it ends up as a Tuple and the write to 
file stuff doesn't like Tuples

TypeError: must be str, not tuple


Please give the full traceback, not just the last line, as it gives us a lot more information. As it happens you're creating a tuple when you assign output, as it's the comma that makes a tuple, so unless I've missed something there's your problem.

Further advice is to slow down a bit, remember more haste, less speed. Walking away from the problem for a few minutes to clear your head often works miracles :)
