I have a dictionary that looks like this
{ 1: ['apple', 'orange'],
2: ['fennel', 'basil', 'bay leaves'],
3: ['almonds', 'walnuts']}
I'm trying to export it into CSV and have the tables look like this:
list_id list_items
1 apple
1 orange
2 fennel
2 basil
2 bay leaves
3 almonds
3 walnuts
The main thing that I don't know how to do is how to parse through the multiple values in the dictionary so that I have separate rows. I've looked into csv.writerow()
but the documentation isn't very helpful, so examples are much appreciated!
Loop through the dictionary keys/values, then loop through the values:
import csv
D = { 1: ['apple', 'orange'],
2: ['fennel', 'basil', 'bay leaves'],
3: ['almonds', 'walnuts']}
# with open('out.csv','w',newline='') as f: # Python 3
with open('out.csv','wb') as f: # Python 2
w = csv.writer(f)
w.writerow(['list_id','list_items'])
for key,items in D.items():
for item in items:
w.writerow([key,item])
