Ahmad Faheem :
the dictionary I am using is:
dict={'item': [1,2,3], 'id':['a','b','c'], 'car':['sedan','truck','moped'], 'color': ['r','b','g'], 'speed': [2,4,10]}
I am trying to produce a tab delimited out put as such:
item id
1 a
2 b
3 c
The code I have written:
with open('file.txt', 'w') as tab_file:
dict_writer = DictWriter(tab_file, dict.keys(), delimiter = '\t')
dict_writer.writeheader()
dict_writer.writerows(dict)
specifically, I am struggling with writing to the file in a column based manner. Meaning, that the dictionary keys populate as the header, and the dictionary values populate vertically underneath the associated header. Also, I do NOT have the luxury of using Pandas
Ruan :
This solution will work for an ambiguous number of items and subitems in the dict:
d = {'item': [1, 2, 3], 'id': [4, 5, 6]}
for i in d:
print(i + "\t", end="")
numSubItems = len(d[i])
print()
for level in range(numSubItems):
for i in d:
print(str(d[i][level]) + "\t", end="")
print()
EDIT: To implement this with writing to a text file:
d = {'item': [1, 2, 3], 'id': [4, 5, 6], 'test': [6, 7, 8]}
with open('file.txt', 'w') as f:
for i in d:
f.write(i + "\t")
numSubItems = len(d[i])
f.write("\n")
for level in range(numSubItems):
for i in d:
f.write(str(d[i][level]) + "\t")
f.write("\n")
