hello, i am trying to create a csv file in python and map the fields to a pre-existing fields, here is the title fileds of my csv
c = csv.writer(open("adm_products.csv", "wb"), delimiter='\t', quotechar='"', quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL) import_fields = ["ID", "Active (0/1)", "Name *", "Categories (x,y,z...)", "Price tax excl. or Price tax incl.", "Tax rules ID", "Wholesale price", "On sale (0/1)", "Discount amount", "Discount percent", "Discount from (yyyy-mm-dd)", "Discount to (yyyy-mm-dd)", "Reference #", "Supplier reference #", "Supplier", "Manufacturer", "EAN13", "UPC", "Ecotax", "Weight", "Quantity", "Short description", "Description", "Tags (x,y,z...)", "Meta-title", "Meta-keywords", "Meta-description", "URL rewritten", "Text when in stock", "Text when backorder allowed", "Available for order (0 = No, 1 = Yes)", "Product creation date", "Show price (0 = No, 1 = Yes)", "Image URLs (x,y,z...)", "Delete existing images (0 = No, 1 = Yes)", "Feature(Name:Value:Position)", "Available online only (0 = No, 1 = Yes)", "Condition", "ID / Name of shop"] so for example: adm_product = [] for category in breadcrumbs.findAll('li', { "class" : re.compile(r'\bcategory\d')}): adm_product.append(category.find('a').renderContents()) # MAP TO CATEGORY product_shop = soup.find('div', attrs={"class": "product-shop"}) product_sku = soup.find('p', attrs={"class": "product-sku"}) if product_sku: sku = product_sku.renderContents() product_ref = ref(sku)[0] adm_product.append(product_ref) # MAP TO REFERENCE # short_description = soup.find('div', attrs={"class": "short-description"}) if short_description: short_desc = short_description.find('div', attrs={"class": "std"}) if short_desc: adm_product.append(short_desc.renderContents()) # MAP TO SHORT DESCRIPTION What is the correct way to map the product_ref to the Reference # in the import_fields list with any missing values being left blank or create a csv so that when i append a value it is added to the correct column? also which is more efficient: c.writerow(adm_product) # writing the product to the csv when all the fileds are found or products = [] # adding them to a list first and then writing them to the csv products.append(adm_product) c.writerow(x) for x in products _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
