Hi,
I have a CSV file from excel that looks like this (simplified):
name,description,type1,type2,name,filename
test1,this is a test,0.000,1.000,,
test2,another test,1.000,0.000,newname,filename
test3,this is a test,0.000,1.000,,
test4,this is a test,0.000,1.000,,
test5,this is a test,0.000,1.000,,
test6,this is a test,0.000,1.000,,
what i want at the end is a dictionary like
dict1[name] = test1
dict1[description] = "this is a test"
..
..
..
dict2[name] = test2
dict2[description] = "another test"
whats a fast and quick way of parsing it? Look for the first comma,
strip that entry out of the string, keep going? Thought there might be
some shortcuts.
Thanks 8 19861

If you do not use Python 2.3 for some reason or other there is a third party
CSV that is fast and workes fine with Python 2.2 (but uses a different
interface of course) http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/csv/

I posted some code recently to parse CSV into a dictionary where you
can extract rows or columns by key or index number. It's not exactly
what you asked for, but might help http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...hon.org&rnum=4

Michael P where would i get this csv module from? does it come with python 2.2? thanks
It comes with Python 2.3. If you grab the csv and _csv modules from the
Python 2.3 CVS repository, they should build and run under 2.2.x. If that's
not possible, poke around for Object Craft's csv module.

Take a look at the csv module delivered with Python 2.3.

I'm using ActivePython2.2 which has the win32 extensions included.
Don't think they have a ActivePython2.3 out yet.
Also I was trying out PAGE which needed 2.2. Don't have the resources
to recompile for 2.3.
Thanks for the help!
