I have a csv file with 4 columns {Tag, User, Quality, Cluster_id}. Using python I would like to do the following: For every cluster_id (from 1 to 500), I want to see for each user, the number of good and bad tags(Obtained from the quality column). There are more than 6000 users. I can read only row by row in the csv file. Hence, I am not sure how this can be done.
For example:
Columns of csv = [Tag User Quality Cluster]
Row1= [bag u1 good 1]
Row2 = [ground u2 bad 2]
Row3 = [xxx u1 bad 1]
Row4 = [bbb u2 good 3]
I have just managed to get each row of the csv file.
I can only access each row at a time, not have two for loops. The psedudocode of the algorithm I want to implement is:
for cluster in clusters:
for user in users:
if eval == good:
good_num = good_num +1
else:
bad_num = bad_num + 1
Hope I am clear

Since someone's already posted a defaultdict solution, I'm going to give a pandas one, just for variety. pandas is a very handy library for data processing. Among other nice features, it can handle this counting problem in one line, depending on what kind of output is required. Really:
df = pd.read_csv("cluster.csv")
counted = df.groupby(["Cluster_id", "User", "Quality"]).size()
df.to_csv("counted.csv")
--
Just to give a trailer for what pandas makes easy, we can load the file -- the main data storage object in pandas is called a "DataFrame":
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> df = pd.read_csv("cluster.csv")
>>> df
Int64Index: 500000 entries, 0 to 499999
Data columns:
Tag 500000 non-null values
User 500000 non-null values
Quality 500000 non-null values
Cluster_id 500000 non-null values
dtypes: int64(1), object(3)
We can check that the first few rows look okay:
>>> df[:5]
Tag User Quality Cluster_id
0 bbb u001 bad 39
1 bbb u002 bad 36
2 bag u003 good 11
3 bag u004 good 9
4 bag u005 bad 26
and then we can group by Cluster_id and User, and do work on each group:
>>> for name, group in df.groupby(["Cluster_id", "User"]):
... print 'group name:', name
... print 'group rows:'
... print group
... print 'counts of Quality values:'
... print group["Quality"].value_counts()
... raw_input()
...
group name: (1, 'u003')
group rows:
Tag User Quality Cluster_id
372002 xxx u003 bad 1
counts of Quality values:
bad 1
group name: (1, 'u004')
group rows:
Tag User Quality Cluster_id
126003 ground u004 bad 1
348003 ground u004 good 1
counts of Quality values:
good 1
bad 1
group name: (1, 'u005')
group rows:
Tag User Quality Cluster_id
42004 ground u005 bad 1
258004 ground u005 bad 1
390004 ground u005 bad 1
counts of Quality values:
bad 3
[etc.]
If you're going to be doing a lot of processing of csv files, it's definitely worth having a look at.
