Might as well make a class for Book instead of dealing with buckets of
lists...
class Book(object):
def __init__(self, title, author, publisher, isbn, date): # add
more fields according to CSV
self.__dict__.update(locals()) # lazy!
def __repr__(self):
return '<"%s" by %s>' % (self.title, self.author)
def read_books(filename):
import csv # (this battery is included)
csv_file = open(filename, "rb")
reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
books = [Book(*[field.strip() for field in row]) for row in reader]
csv_file.close()
return books
if __name__ == '__main__':
books = read_books("my_csv_file.csv")
import operator
# example - Sort by author
books.sort(key = operator.attrgetter("author"))
for book in books:
print book
