Python Help me for my exams !

[Bidoule]

Hi everyone, I hope y'all doing great.

I'm a brand new coder here. I need to learn how to code in python. I'll keep this thread active while my progression though the year and your help.

First of all, I need to convert a .csv into a .py ... I tried to look up on the internet but I found nothing. Could you guys help me out ?
Thanks a lot !!
Have a nice day

A .csv is just basically a graph the closest thing I would think of is .json or python:

Name = "John Smith"
Address = "1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500"

[ "Person": {
   "Name": "John Smith",
    "Address": "1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500"
}]

Or if you want arrays:

    {"employees":[ 
        {"name":"Shyam", "email":"[email protected]"}, 
        {"name":"Bob", "email":"[email protected]"}, 
        {"name":"Jai", "email":"[email protected]"} 
    ]}

To explain the problem the subject is "create a GPS with Python"
So I have a doc with all cities in France (I'm french) and I need to link them together.
So for example, I'm in Paris and the closest city is "Idon'tknow" and it's at 900km away from Marseille.
I don't need to do the path just the distances ...

To put it simply... what you are asking is to convert a file used to store data, similar to exel, and convert it to a file that contains code, like python file (.py)... not doable.. however, if your goal is to read and/or the data contained within the .csv file with a program written in python, then yes, that is doable

What is it that you need to do with the data in the CSV file? Let's start with that

What I need to do is, I have a file with data and I have to work with these data using python.
I asked to someone about my problem, he said I must open it as a .txt so I can read the data, get all the data into a list and then work with that list.
I don't know if I'm understandable, put I'll put down what I've done as soon as I can !

You don't necessarily need to open it up as a text file. You should be able to just open it as a csv in Python.

import csv
csv_file = raw_input('Enter the name of your input file: ')
txt_file = raw_input('Enter the name of your output file: ')
with open(txt_file, "w") as my_output_file:
    with open(csv_file, "r") as my_input_file:
        [ my_output_file.write(" ".join(row)+'\n') for row in csv.reader(my_input_file)]
    my_output_file.close()
