Python: Reads a CSV file and remove initial spaces, quotes around each entry and the delimiter
Python CSV File Reading and Writing: Exercise-6 with Solution
Write a Python program that reads a CSV file and remove initial spaces, quotes around each entry and the delimiter.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import csv
csv.register_dialect('csv_dialect',
delimiter='|',
skipinitialspace=True,
quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
with open('temp.csv', 'r') as csvfile:
reader = csv.reader(csvfile, dialect='csv_dialect')
for row in reader:
print(row)
temp.csv
"country_id"|"country_name"|"region_id"
"AR"|"Argentina"| 2
"AU"|"Australia"| 3
"BE"|"Belgium"| 1
"BR"|"Brazil"| 2
"CA"|"Canada"| 2
Sample Output:
['country_id', 'country_name', 'region_id'] ['AR', 'Argentina', '2'] ['AU', 'Australia', '3'] ['BE', 'Belgium', '1'] ['BR', 'Brazil', '2'] ['CA', 'Canada', '2']

Creates a dictionary with the same keys as the provided dictionary and values generated by running the provided function for each value:
Example:
def tips_map_values(obj, fn): ret = {} for key in obj.keys(): ret[key] = fn(obj[key]) return ret users = { 'Owen': { 'user': 'Owen', 'age': 29 }, 'Eddie': { 'user': 'Eddie', 'age': 15 } } print(tips_map_values(users, lambda u : u['age'])) # {'Owen': 29, 'Eddie': 15}
Output:
{'Owen': 29, 'Eddie': 15}
