Hi, I have a dict named "connections", with items like the following:
In [18]: connections Out[18]: {'3424234': {'end_timestamp': datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 25, 5, 31, 30, 406000, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(-1, 61200))), 'ip_address': '10.168.8.36:52440', 'open_timestamp': datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 25, 5, 31, 0, 383000, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(-1, 61200))), 'time_open': datetime.timedelta(0, 30, 23000)}} In this case, the key is a connection id (e.g. "3424234"), and the value is a another dict, which contains things like 'end_timestamp', 'ip_address" etc. I'm writing the output of "connections" to a CSV file using DictWriter: fieldnames = ['connection_id', 'ip_address', 'open_timestamp', 'end_timestamp', 'time_open'] with open('output.csv', 'w') as csvfile: writer = DictWriter(csvfile, fieldnames) writer.writeheader() for connection, values in sorted(connections.items()): if 'time_open' in values: writer.writerow(values, {'connection_id': connection}) else: pass # DO SOME STUFF The only problem is, I'd also like output the connection_id field as part of each CSV record. However, connection_id in this case is the key for the parent dict. Is there a clean way to add a extra field to DictWriter writerows, or it is the contents of the dict and that's it?
