I am using Jupyter Notebook and Python 3.4. I have a data structure in the
format, (type list):
[{'AccountNumber': N,
'Amount': '0',
'Answer': '12:00:00 PM',
'ID': None,
'Type': 'WriteLetters',
'Amount': '10',
{'AccountNumber': Y,
'Amount': '0',
'Answer': ' 12:00:00 PM',
'ID': None,
'Type': 'Transfer',
'Amount': '2'}]
The end goal is to write this out to CSV.
For the above example the output would look like:
AccountNumber, Amount, Answer, ID, Type, Amount
N,0,12:00:00 PM,None,WriteLetters,10
Y,2,12:00:00 PM,None,Transfer,2
Below is the function that I am using to write out this data structure. Please excuse any
indentation formatting issues. The data structure is returned through the function
"construct_results(get_just_xml_data)".
The data that is returned is in the format as above.
"construct_headers(get_just_xml_data)" returns a list of headers. Writing out the row for
"headers_list" works.
The list comprehension "data" is to maintain the integrity of the column
headers and the values for each new instance of the data structure (where the keys in the
dictionary are the headers and values - row instances). The keys in this specific data
structure are meant to check if there is a value instance, and if there is not - place an
''.
def write_to_csv(results, headers):
headers = construct_headers(get_just_xml_data)
results = construct_results(get_just_xml_data)
headers_list = list(headers)
with open('real_csv_output.csv', 'wt') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
writer.writerow(headers_list)
for row in results:
data = [row.get(index, '') for index in results]
writer.writerow(data)
However, when I run this, I receive this error:

TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'
I have done some research, namely, the following:

However, I am still perplexed by this error. Any feedback is welcomed. Thank
you.
You're taking the index values from 'results' instead of 'headers'.
