⛩️God Slayer⚔️

Provides generator to read Kami (god) CSV record as list of string.

Context

It's beyond CSV module😱

We often face CSV files like this:

population
age	total number	male	female
0～4	21303	10867	10436
0	4062	2069	1993
1	4279	2171	2108
2	4285	2152	2133
3	4434	2268	2166
4	4243	2207	2036
5～9	21017	10956	10061
5	4369	2283	2086
6	4345	2213	2132
7	4117	2163	1954
8	4155	2146	2009
9	4031	2151	1880
sum	42320	21823	20497
material: Residents' Culture Department Resident Registration Section

It's beyond CSV module😱 We just want the population for each age ...

We call such a CSV file Kami CSV.

Features

Let's iterate to read only required row from CSV💡

• ⚔️ Skips to the row after the header row
• ⚔️ Skips partition rows
• ⚔️ Stops iteration bedore footer row

Quickstart

pip install godslayer

Let's resolve above example:

from pathlib import Path

def print_required_row():
    god_slayer_factory = GodSlayerFactory(
        header=["age", "total", "male", "female"],
        partition=[r"^\d*〜\d*$", r"^\d*$", r"^\d*$", r"^\d*$"],
        footer=["sum", r"^\d*$", r"^\d*$", r"^\d*$"],
        encoding="shift_jis_2004",
    )
    god_slayer = god_slayer_factory.create(Path("/path/to/file.csv"))

    for record in god_slayer:
        print(record)

['0', '4062', '2069', '1993']
['1', '4279', '2171', '2108']
['2', '4285', '2152', '2133']
['3', '4434', '2268', '2166']
['4', '4243', '2207', '2036']
['5', '4369', '2283', '2086']
['6', '4345', '2213', '2132']
['7', '4117', '2163', '1954']
['8', '4155', '2146', '2009']
['9', '4031', '2151', '1880']

Note that file will be closeed automatically when variable god_slayer goes out of scope.

How to match list of string with row

• List of strings has the same length as row
• All strings in the list are compared with the string at the same index in the row and must be one of the following:
  • Same string
  • Matched the regular expression

cf. list_string_matcher.py

What is "Kami CSV"?

"Kami CSV" is a CSV that has become a non-normal form by adding headers, footers, intermediate lines, and notes even though the purpose is to export data. The etymology comes from Kami Excel. It's often found in government office or Legacy company service.
