Using csvreader against a gzipped file in Python
I've tried the above version for writing and reading and it didn't work in Python 3.3 due to "bytes" error. However, after some trial and error I could get the following to work. Maybe it also helps others:
import csv
import gzip
import io
with gzip.open("test.gz", "w") as file:
writer = csv.writer(io.TextIOWrapper(file, newline="", write_through=True))
writer.writerow([1, 2, 3])
writer.writerow([4, 5, 6])
with gzip.open("test.gz", "r") as file:
reader = csv.reader(io.TextIOWrapper(file, newline=""))
print(list(reader))
As amohr suggests, the following works as well:
import gzip, csv
with gzip.open("test.gz", "wt", newline="") as file:
writer = csv.writer(file)
writer.writerow([1, 2, 3])
writer.writerow([4, 5, 6])
with gzip.open("test.gz", "rt", newline="") as file:
reader = csv.reader(file)
print(list(reader))
Use the gzip
module:
with gzip.open(filename, mode='rt') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
