Hello, future Python geniuses! Today, we’ll look at Python’s built-in csv module, a useful tool for reading and writing CSV (Comma Separated Values) files. These files are an important data storage type that is commonly used to store simple tabular data. The csv module in Python allows you to read from and write to CSV files. Here’s an example of how to read a CSV file:
import csv
with open('file. csv', 'r') as file:
reader = csv. reader(file)
for row in reader:
print(row)
The csv module is first imported in this script. After that, we open our CSV file in **‘read’ **mode. The csv. reader function is then used to read the file, and each row is printed.
Exercise
Create a Python application that reads a CSV file using the csv module. Each row of the file should be printed.
Conclusion
Excellent work! You’ve now learned how to read CSV files with Python’s csv module, which is an important skill to have when working with data. CSV files are common in data analysis, and knowing how to read and write them is a valuable skill to have in your programming toolbox. Continue your Python adventure by coding and exploring!
