python的csv去除索引列,使用python删除CSV中的列

I have been able to create a csv with python using the input from several users on this site and I wish to express my gratitude for your posts. I am now stumped and will post my first question.

My input.csv looks like this:

day,month,year,lat,long

01,04,2001,45.00,120.00

02,04,2003,44.00,118.00

I am trying to delete the "year" column and all of its entries. In total there is 40+ entries with a range of years from 1960-2010.

解决方案import csv

with open("source","rb") as source:

rdr= csv.reader( source )

with open("result","wb") as result:

wtr= csv.writer( result )

for r in rdr:

wtr.writerow( (r[0], r[1], r[3], r[4]) )

BTW, the for loop can be removed, but not really simplified.

in_iter= ( (r[0], r[1], r[3], r[4]) for r in rdr )

wtr.writerows( in_iter )

Also, you can stick in a hyper-literal way to the requirements to delete a column. I find this to be a bad policy in general because it doesn't apply to removing more than on column. When you try to remove the second, you discover that the positions have all shifted and the resulting row isn't obvious. But for one column only, this works.

del r[2]

wtr.writerow( r )
