Question

So I have a list of "clients" that I need to count how many times in every line this "element" shows up. a little snippet of the text file inside the.zip FakeCostomers :

1,female,Melissa,J,Palmer,4 Lynch Street,Milwaukee,WI,53213,US,Melissa.J.Palmer@gmail.com,920-959-8247,9/29/1972,Visa,281.84,5

For example if I wanted to find out how many females there are in this list.

So far I have tried:

def getColumnDistribution(filename,columnNum):

    file = open(filename,"r")
    listoflists = []

    for line in file:

        stripped_line = line.strip()

        line_list = stripped_line.split()

        listoflists.append(line_list)

        NUMBER = line_list.count(line_list[columnNum])

it keeps coming up with "list index out of range" Anyone know how I can fix it or use a better method?

Answer 1

Python gives you a lot of tools that make these kind of tasks painless. For example, you can pass the issues of csv parsing to the csv module and counter to collections.Counter . Then it's just a couple lines:

import csv
from collections import Counter

with open(path, 'r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    headers = next(reader)    # pop off the header row

    genderCounts = Counter(row[1] for row in reader)

print(genderCounts['female'])
# 15167

print(genderCounts['male'])
# 14833

If you use theDictreader from csv, you can index by columns name, which makes the code more readable:

with open(path, 'r') as f:
    reader = csv.DictReader(f)

    genderCounts = Counter(row['Gender'] for row in reader)

Of course if you are doing a lot of work on data like this, pandas will make you life substantially easier:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv(path)
df['Gender'].value_counts()

# female    15167
# male      14833
# Name: Gender, dtype: int64

Answer 2

This will work for you. Tested on 3.6v

import csv

def openFile(file_name:str)->tuple:
    with open(file_name,'r') as csv_file:
        csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
        return tuple(csv_reader)  

def getColumnDistribution(csv_data:tuple,name_to_count:str)->int:

    num_of_count = [idx for idx,rows in enumerate(csv_data) if name_to_count in rows]
    print("number of occurence:",num_of_count)
    return len(num_of_count)

#driver code
csv_data = openFile(your_csv_file_name)
getColumnDistribution(csv_data,'female')
