Hello Tutors,
I use the csv module to read and write a csv file. When I read the
file into a new list I convert the ints and the dates to int and time
objects so I can do calculations. I use the below function which
works.
def convertValue(value, dateformat, reverse=False):
if reverse:
try:
return strftime(dateformat, value)
except TypeError:
return str(value)
else:
try:
return int(float(value))
except ValueError:
try:
return strptime(value, dateformat)
except:
return value
When writing the lines back to a csv file I loop over the lists and
convert the values back with the same function but in reverse but....
I was just wondering if there is another way of dealing with this.
Should I pass the strings to the calculation function (not written
yet), do my calculations and have it return strings? Or do you have
another way?
Thanks
Sander
