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.

It's worth noting that this program handles commas (delimiters), quotation marks, and newlines within a cell with ease.

Here is the guidance.

To import

from mytable import mycsv

Function: read()

Read a CSV file and store the table in a list.

• usage

res = mycsv.read(filname, delimiter=',')

• arguments

  • filename

    A string value. The filename of the CSV file.

  • delimiter

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

• returned value

  • res

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

Function: write()

Create a CSV file.

• usage

mycsv.write(filename, table, delimiter=',')

• arguments

  • filename

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

  • table

    A list, the structure of which is the same as the value to 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.

MYTOOLS

Useful tools. Simple, yet powerful.

To import

from mytable import mytools

Function: excel_ctn()

All functions of this package use numbers as indexes, but Excel uses alphabets as indications of the columns, such as 'A' for column 0 (We count from 0, remember?), 'Z' for column 25, and 'AA' for column 26.

This converts the alphabetical column Characters To pure Numbers.

• usage

res = mytools.excel_ctn(col)

• arguments

  • col

    Alphabetical column characters, such as 'A' or 'AA', etc.

• returned value

  A number, as mentioned above.

MYVIEW

Provide a better view of the tables.

To import

from mytable import myview

Function: select_range()

In some circumstances, there are so many columns that they cannot be fully displayed in excel, and columns that exceed the limit cannot be visualized.

This allows you to select some columns and rows so that you can extract them to a new temporary CSV file and view them with your favorite table viewer, like Excel.

• usage

table_select = myview.select_range(table, columns=[], rows=[])

• arguments

  • table

    An original table in the form of a list.

  • columns

    A list of column numbers that indicate the columns you would like to see. The default value is an empty list, which selects all columns.

  • rows

    A list of row numbers that indicate the rows you would like to see. The default value is an empty list, which selects all rows.

• returned value

  • table_select

    A table which contains the selected range.

MYEDIT

Edit the table the easy way.

To import

from mytable import myedit

Function: combine_rows()

Combine rows of multiple tables with the same total number of columns.

• usage

comb = myedit.combine_rows(tables)

• arguments

  • tables

    A list which contains multiple tables.

• returned value

  • comb

    The combined table.

Function: combine_columns()

Combine columns of multiple tables with the same total number of rows.

• usage

comb = myedit.combine_columns(tables)

• arguments

  • tables

    A list which contains multiple tables.

• returned value

  • comb

    The combined table.
