MySQL TSV Processing!

This library provides functionality for reading and producing MySQL compatible Tab-Seperated Value files. The most salient features of this library are the Reader and Writer that enable reading and writing TSV files. There’s also a set of convenience functions for doing the same without constructing a class – see read() and write().

Reading and Writing

Use Reader or read() to read TSV files:

>>> import io
>>> my_file = io.StringIO("user_id\tuser_text\tedits\n" +
...                       "10\tFoobar_Barman\t2344\n" +
...                       "11\tBarfoo_Fooman\t20\n" +
...                       "NULL\t127.0.0.1\t42\n")
>>> reader = mysqltsv.Reader(my_file, types=[int, str, int])
>>> for row in reader:
...     print(repr(row.user_id), repr(row['user_text']), repr(row[2]))
...
10 'Foobar_Barman' 2344
11 'Barfoo_Fooman' 20
None '127.0.0.1' 42

Use Writer or write() to write TSV files:

>>> import sys
>>> import mysqltsv
>>>
>>> writer = mysqltsv.Writer(sys.stdout, headers=['user_id', 'user_text', 'edits'])
user_id       user_text       edits
>>> writer.write([10, 'Foobar_Barman', 2344])
10    Foobar_Barman   2344
>>> writer.write({'user_text': 'Barfoo_Fooman', 'user_id': 11, 'edits': 20})
11    Barfoo_Fooman   20
>>> writer.write([None, "127.0.0.1", 42])
NULL  127.0.0.1       42
