Hello, I have a dictionary similar to this:
dyc = {
'a50' : ['textfield', 50, 40],
'k77' : ['othertext', 60, 10]
}
I was trying to write a csv with the csv module, by doing this:
import csv
myfile = open('c:/myscripts/csv-test.csv', 'wb')
mywriter = csv.writer(myfile, dialect='excel')
for item in dyc:
mywriter.write(item)
myfile.close()
this gives me this result:
a50,"['textfield', 50, 40]"
k77,"['othertext', 60, 10]"
I would like this, instead:
a50,"textfield", 50, 40
k77,"othertext", 60, 10
It's a good idea to cut-and-paste actual code and actual output. Your above
code doesn't work. "writerow" is the correct method and "for item in
dyc.items():" is needed to iterate over keys and values correctly.
import csv
dyc = {
'a50' : ['textfield', 50, 40],
'k77' : ['othertext', 60, 10]
}
myfile = open('csv-test.csv', 'w')
mywriter = csv.writer(myfile, dialect='excel')
for k,[a,b,c] in dyc.items():
mywriter.writerow([k,a,b,c])
myfile.close()
OUTPUT:
a50,textfield,50,40
k77,othertext,60,10
If you want quoted text fields use:
mywriter = csv.writer(myfile, dialect='excel',quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC)
