如何修复Python中的``列表索引超出范围''错误

Question

I'm using excel to store a username and score. For example:

Ben,1 

Kim,9

Jeff,3

Bob,5

I would like to sort them using the score highest to lowest but I keep getting this error:

list index out of range

My code:

import csv

import operator

sample = open("data.csv","r")

reader = csv.reader(sample,delimiter=',')

sort = sorted(reader,key=operator.itemgetter(1))

Answer 1

You are getting the error because of the empty line

import csv
import operator

result = []
with open(filename) as infile:
    reader = csv.reader(infile,delimiter=',')
    for line in reader:
        if line:                #Check if line is empty
            result.append(line)

print(sorted(result,key=operator.itemgetter(1)))

or use filter

with open(filename) as infile:
    reader = csv.reader(infile,delimiter=',')
    print( sorted(filter(None, reader),key=operator.itemgetter(1)) )
