When trying to write my dictionary to a file I get:
f.write(output)
TypeError: 'tuple' does not support the buffer interface
using this example:
#so far this should read a file
#using dictreader and take a column and join some text onto it
import csv
csvfile= open('StudentListToSort.csv', newline='')
spamreader = csv.DictReader(csvfile,delimiter=',',quotechar='|')
#open a file to write to later
f = open('output.csv', 'wb+')
#iterate through dictreader object
for row in spamreader:
if row['year'] == '40':
username = row['user'] #I put stuff in variables for ease of
viewing/debugging
email = "".join([username,'@email.com]) # join text
#put output for file in variable first
output = email, row['first'],row['last'],row['password']
#change tuple to list
#outputlist= list(output)
#write results to file
f.write(output)
print(output)
I then tried to cast the tuple to a list thinking that would help like this:
#change tuple to list
#outputlist= list(output)
#write results to file
f.write(outputlist)
print(outputlist)
same problem:
f.write(outputlist)
TypeError: 'list' does not support the buffer interface
So is it the csv.DictWriter that is needed here?
