I'm trying to read this csv into pandas
HK,"[u'5328.1', u'5329.3', '2013-12-27 13:58:57.973614']"
HK,"[u'5328.1', u'5329.3', '2013-12-27 13:58:59.237387']"
HK,"[u'5328.1', u'5329.3', '2013-12-27 13:59:00.346325']"
As you can see there are only 2 columns and the second one is a list, is there a way to interpret it correctly ( meaning reading the values in the list as columns) when using pd.read_csv() with arguments ?
thank you
One option is to use ast.literal_eval
as converter:
>>> import ast
>>> df = pd.read_clipboard(header=None, quotechar='"', sep=',',
... converters={1:ast.literal_eval})
>>> df
0 1
0 HK [5328.1, 5329.3, 2013-12-27 13:58:57.973614]
1 HK [5328.1, 5329.3, 2013-12-27 13:58:59.237387]
2 HK [5328.1, 5329.3, 2013-12-27 13:59:00.346325]
And convert those lists to a DataFrame if needed, for example with:
>>> df = pd.DataFrame.from_records(df[1].tolist(), index=df[0],
... columns=list('ABC')).reset_index()
>>> df['C'] = pd.to_datetime(df['C'])
>>> df
0 A B C
0 HK 5328.1 5329.3 2013-12-27 13:58:57.973614
1 HK 5328.1 5329.3 2013-12-27 13:58:59.237387
2 HK 5328.1 5329.3 2013-12-27 13:59:00.346325
df['new_column'] = df['column'].apply(lambda x: ast.literal_eval(x))
只需在包含列表作为字符串的列上运行上面的代码。
Based alko's answer, you can use the df.apply() function for the first part to read the actual data in the list string:
>>> df = pd.read_clipboard(header=None,sep=',')
>>> df
0 1
0 HK [u'5328.1', u'5329.3', '2013-12-27 13:58:57.97...
1 HK [u'5328.1', u'5329.3', '2013-12-27 13:58:59.23...
2 HK [u'5328.1', u'5329.3', '2013-12-27 13:59:00.34...
>>> df[1] = df[1].apply(eval)
>>> df
0 1
0 HK [5328.1, 5329.3, 2013-12-27 13:58:57.973614]
1 HK [5328.1, 5329.3, 2013-12-27 13:58:59.237387]
2 HK [5328.1, 5329.3, 2013-12-27 13:59:00.346325]
use .strip() in python.
with open(csvfile, 'r')as infile:
reader = csv.reader(infile)
for row in reader:
col1 = row[0]
col2 = row[1:].strip("[]")
