Trying to use CSV to read in a line with 11 fields and I keep getting
this error. I have googled a bit and have been unable to figure it out. 8 68409
That happens when you try something like this:
a,b,c = [1,2,3,4]
It means there are more items on the right side than the left. You
probably have < 11 variables on the left side.

Probably you have more than 11 values in some (or all) of the rows in
the CSV file. Try this code:
L = (1,2,3,4,5)
a1,a2,a3 = L
If you are sure that you only need a certain number of values, "the
first N columns":
a1,a2,a3 = L[:3]
Then you still can have a "not enough values to unpack" error, guess
what that means. ;-)

Hmm, well I have counted the fields in the CSV and verified there are
only 11. Here is the offending code:
myfile = open('ClientsXMLUpdate.csv')
csvreader = csv.reader(myfile)
for boxid, mac, activated, hw_ver, sw_ver, heartbeat, name, address,
phone, country, city in csvreader:
mainbox = SubElement(root, "{Boxes}box")
mainbox.attrib["city"] = city
mainbox.attrib["country"] = country
mainbox.attrib["phone"] = phone
mainbox.attrib["address"] = address
mainbox.attrib["name"] = name
mainbox.attrib["pl_heartbeat"] = heartbeat
mainbox.attrib["sw_ver"] = sw_ver
mainbox.attrib["hw_ver"] = hw_ver
mainbox.attrib["date_activated"] = activated
mainbox.attrib["mac_address"] = mac
mainbox.attrib["boxid"] = boxid
I just don't get it... :/

You say all rows have 11 fields, the csv module insists on an error... try
using some print statements to see who is right:
for index, items in enumerate(csvreader):
print index, len(items)
if len(items)!=11: print items

.....
Try this instead:
lineno = 0
for values in csvreader:
try:
lineno += 1
boxid, mac, activated, hw_ver, sw_ver, heartbeat, name,
address,phone, country, city = values
except:
print "Problem at line #",lineno
print repr(values)
break
Or even:
lineno = 0
for values in csvreader:
lineno += 1
if len(values) != 11:
print "Problem at line #",lineno
print repr(values)
Best,
Laszlo

Counted how? Checked each line in the file? Let Python do it; see
below.
Here is the offending code:
myfile = open('ClientsXMLUpdate.csv')
Put in a second arg of 'rb'; if not the case now, someone might run
your code on Windows some day.
What platform, what version of Python?
csvreader = csv.reader(myfile)
for boxid, mac, activated, hw_ver, sw_ver, heartbeat, name, address,
phone, country, city in csvreader:
Not exactly bullet-proof code.
I just don't get it... :/
Possibly (in one or more rows) the address field has a comma in it and
it's not quoted properly.
Try writing your code in a more defensive fashion:
ENCOLS = 11
rownum = 0
for row in csvreader:
rownum += 1
ancols = len(row)
if ancols != ENCOLS:
print "Row %d has %d columns (expected %d)" \
% (rownum, ancols, ENCOLS)
print row
# pass/return/continue/break/raise/call error logger .....
(boxid, mac, activated, hw_ver,
sw_ver, heartbeat, name, address,
phone, country, city) = row
HTH,
John
You guys have given me some great ideas, I am going to try them all
out and let you guys know how it turns out.
On a side note, thanks for nto bashing a noob like me who isn't the
greatest pythonista around. I am trying to learn and you guys are how
I learn my mistakes. Well you, and the fact the stuff occasionally
doesn't work. :)
Thanks again and I will report back in a couple hours (meetings).

Laszlo, may I suggest using enumerate() here instead ?-)
for lineno, row in enumerate(csvreader):
print "line %s" % lineno+1 # want 1-based numbering This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
