csv_reader

Module to read and write CSVs using the Python CSV library

=================================

I got tired of writing a CSV function in every script I was working on, so I wrote a Python module that is portable and can be imported into anything. It’s attached here.

To use:

Import the module via

import csv_reader

or

from csv_reader import open_csv, write_csv # (you’ll need to copy it into the working directory)

Then you can do something like the following:

a = open_csv('/home/test_data.csv')

for i in a:
    print i

write_csv(a, 'output.csv')

a will be = a list of all the values in the CSV (each row is its own nested list), to write to a CSV, feed the write_csv function a list and then give it an output filename.
