Hi Team
I need to write the values of an ordered dictionary into a file . All
values should be in a single row with a header list
*Example:*
*student = [("NAME", "John"),*
* ("AGE", 28),*
* ("SCORE", 13),*
* ("YEAR", 2018),*
* ("FEE", 250)]*
*student = OrderedDict(student)*
*The OrderedDict Should be append at the end of the file as as shown below.*
*# tail -2 /tmp/student_record.txt *
*.................................................................*
*||STUDENT NAME||STUDENT AGE||MARKS SCORED||PASSED YEAR||FEES PAID||*
*||John || 28 || 13 || 2018 || 250 ||*
Questions:
(1) Below is my partial solution , any comments and suggestions ( I am not
to get the “||” delimiter correctly, trying it )
#!/usr/bin/python
# A Python program to write the values of an OderedDict into a file
# The values should be formatted correctly under its headers
from collections import OrderedDict
tmp = '/tmp/student_record.txt'
student = [("NAME", "John"),
("AGE", 28),
("SCORE", 13),
("YEAR", 2018),
("FEE", 250)]
student = OrderedDict(student)
header_list = ["STUDENT NAME", "STUDENT AGE", "MARKS SCORED", "PASSED YEAR",
"FEES PAID"]
header_string = '||' + '||'.join(header_list) + '||'
with open(tmp, 'a') as fd:
for item in header_string:
fd.write("%s" % (item))
for value in student.values():
fd.write("\n")
fd.write("||")
fd.write("%s" % (value))
*output:*
*root@X1:/Play_ground/SPECIAL_TYPES# cat /tmp/student_record.txt*
*||STUDENT NAME||STUDENT AGE||MARKS SCORED||PASSED YEAR||FEES PAID||*
*||John*
*||28*
*||13*
*||2018*
(2)Any alternative way to solve this easily and store the data in the
requested format (can I still use cvs writer to format this)
I am a Linux user with Python 2.7

Ganesh
