data to csv python code example

Example 1: create csv file python

# This action requires the 'csv' module
import csv

# The basic usage is to first define the rows of the csv file:
row_list = [["SN", "Name", "Contribution"],
             [1, "Linus Torvalds", "Linux Kernel"],
             [2, "Tim Berners-Lee", "World Wide Web"],
             [3, "Guido van Rossum", "Python Programming"]]

# And then use the following to create the csv file:
with open('protagonist.csv', 'w', newline='') as file:
    writer = csv.writer(file)
    writer.writerows(row_list)
# This will create a csv file in the current directory

Example 2: python convert dat file to csv

import csv

with open("infile.dat") as infile, open("outfile.csv", "w") as outfile:
    csv_writer = csv.writer(outfile)
    prev = ''
    csv_writer.writerow(['ID', 'PARENT_ID'])
    for line in infile.read().splitlines():
        csv_writer.writerow([line, prev])
        prev = line

Example 3: python save as csv

import numpy as np
np.savetxt('data.csv', (col1_array, col2_array, col3_array), delimiter=',')
