命名元组的列表理解导致空列表

Question

I've stumbled upon a problem I just can't seem to find an answer for. I am reading the contents of a csv file using csv.DictReader and constructing a list of namedtuples from that information. However, upon running it, the end result is an empty list.

from collections import namedtuple
import csv

nt = namedtuple('suminfo', 'a, b, c')
checklist = ['check1', 'check2', 'check3']

with open('test.csv', 'r') as csv_file:
     csv_rows = csv.DictReader(csv_file, delimiter='\t')
     tups = [nt(row['first'], row['second'], row['third']) 
            for row in csv_rows if row['first'] in checklist]

I have also tried a typical normal loop of the rows followed by list appending of a namedtuple, and this seems to work just fine.

Why is the listcomprehension not behaving as expected? Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

The list comprehension is working for me. I used this test data (test.csv):

first   second  third
check1  1   1
check2  2   2
check3  3   3
check4  4   4

The values are separated by tabs. When I run your code,

nt = namedtuple('suminfo', 'a, b, c')
checklist = ['check1', 'check2', 'check3']

with open('test.csv', 'r') as csv_file:
    csv_rows = csv.DictReader(csv_file, delimiter='\t')
    tups = [nt(row['first'], row['second'], row['third']) 
            for row in csv_rows if row['first'] in checklist]
    print(tups)

I get the following result:

>>> [suminfo(a='check1', b='1', c='1'), suminfo(a='check2', b='2', c='2'), suminfo(a='check3', b='3', c='3')]
