Open and read a tab delimited file from html using python cgi

[luffy3not2]

I am trying build a webpage which takes a large tab delimited .txt/.txt.gz file as user input from a form and using POST method(test.html) to send the data to cgi-bin directory to file.py which ideally should open the file read and put the data into a dataframe and do some analysis(which i have already wrttien in python and works well on terminal) on the data and send back the analysis results to a html page. That is where the problem i am facing, how to read the data in the file exactly with the separator. How to pass these data into a pandas dataframe with delimiter?

test.html

<form enctype = "multipart/form-data" action = "/cgi-bin/file.py" method = "post">
<p>File: <input type = "file" name = "filename" /></p>
<p><input type = "submit" value = "Upload" /></p>
</form>
 

file.py

import cgi, os
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
import pandas as pd
 
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
 
fileitem = form['filename']
if fileitem.file:
    message=fileitem.file.read()
 
#df = pd.read_csv(message, sep='\t')
#some code for analysis
#some code for analysis
#some code for analysis
 

The 'message' if printed, prints the data without any separator in a single line, this should ideally passed into a pandas dataframe.

Thanks in advance for your time

Please follow the standalone syntax for read_csv. Moreover engin might not be getting correct fs path. Can you please put here the fs message you are getting ?

Thanks.

@madankarmukta Thank you for your response. fs message is working fine, its suppose open the file and read which its doing fine.

But this print the entire data in a single line(please see the screenshot), i would like it to put in a table/dataframe.


Thank you

PS the image is the 'fs message' which prints the data in the file which is uploaded to test.html
