MYCSV

This is a simple reader and writer for CSV files by Lucien Shaw. It consumes less resource and processes more quickly than the current csv module, though a lot less functional.

It reads CSV files as plain texts and stores the table in a list, whose elements are lists of cells of the current row. The list is the value to the key 'full' of a dict, which is the returned value of the function.

Here is the guidance.

To import

from mytable import mycsv

Function: read()

• usage

from mytable import mycsv
mycsv.read(filname, has_header, delimiter=',')

• arguments

  • filename

    A string value. The filename of the CSV file.

  • has_header

    A bool value. Whether the table has a header.

  • delimiter

    A char value. Comma by default. The character which is used to delimit the columns.

• returned value
  • dict

    • 'full'

      List of rows. Each row is a list of columns, aka. cells, which contains strings.

    • 'data'

      Full table without header. Same with 'full' if there is no header.

    • 'has_header'

      A bool value. Whether the table has a header. Copied from the same argument.

    • 'columns'

      Total columns of the table.

    • 'rows'

      Total rows of the full table.

    • 'rows_data'

      Total rows of the table (without header row). Same with 'rows' if there is no header.

Function: write()

• usage

from mytable import mycsv
mycsv.write(filename, table, delimiter=',')

• arguments

  • filename

    A string value. The filename of the CSV file be written.

  • table

    A list, the structure of which is the same with the value wo the key 'full' of the returned dict of function read().

    All values shall be strings.

  • delimiter

    A char value. Comma by default. The character which is used to delimit the columns.

• returned value

  There is no returned value.
