● CSV is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spread sheet or database.
● CSV stands for "comma-separated values“.
● Files in the CSV format can be imported to and exported from programs that store data in
tables, such as Microsoft Excel or Open Office Calc.
Important Steps:
1. First of all we have to import csv module for file operation.
2. For writing ,we open file in ‘w’ writing or ‘a’ append mode using open() method
f=open(‘filename.csv’,’w’,newline=’’)
By setting newline='', you're telling Python not to modify the newline characters at all. This is commonly used when
working with the csv module to ensure that the csv.writer handles the newline characters correctly (i.e., without
adding extra blank lines between rows).
3. For Writing
Creating a writer object, associated with the file f. The writer object allows you to write rows
of data into the file in CSV format. Through csv.writer() method ,we create it.
w_obj=csv.writer(f)
For Reading
Creating a reader object, associated with the file f we use csv.reader() method. It Creates a
CSV reader object that can iterate over the rows of the file f.
r_obj=csv.reader(f)
4. Perform writing operation (read data from user and write on to csv file)
writerow() used for writing single row
writerows()used for writing multiple rows
Perform reading operation (read data from csv file and display using python)
5. Close the file using close() method
f.close()
Examples: Writing to csv file
import csv import csv
f = open("data.csv", 'w') fields = ['Name', 'Class', 'Subject']
wr = csv.writer(f) rows = [["Amit", 'XII', 'CS'], ['Sumit', 'X', 'ΙΡ'], ['Ashu', 'XI', 'CS']]
wr.writerow(['Name', 'Class']) f = open("data.csv", 'w', newline = ' ')
wr.writerow (['Amit', 'XII']) wr = csv.writer(f)
f.close() wr.writerow (fields) # adding 1 row
wr.writerows(rows) # adding 3 rows
f.close()
Examples: Reading from csv file
import csv import csv
f = open("data.csv", 'r') f = open("data.csv", 'r')
row = csv.reader(f) row = csv.reader(f)
for i in row: for i in row:
print(i) print(i[0], i[2])
The above code is reading first and third column from "data.csv" file

A csv file "Happiness.csv" contains the data of a survey. Each record of the file contains the following
data:
* Name of a country
* Population of the country
* Sample Size (Number of persons who participated in the survey in that country)
* Happy (Number of persons who accepted that they were Happy)
For example, a sample record of the file may be: Signiland, 5673000, 5000, 3426
Write the following Python functions to perform the specified operations on this file:
(I) Read all the data from the file and display all (II) Count the number of records in the file.
