tsv2dict

Provides a reader and writer for TSV files, similar to the CSV implementation.

class tsv2dict.DictConverter(type_dict: Dict[str, Callable[[str], Any]])

An object that parses a dict of strings into the types specified in type_dict

class tsv2dict.DictReader(f: Iterable[str], fieldnames: Optional[List[str]] = None)

Allows reading of tsv files in the form of dicts.

class tsv2dict.DictWriter(f: TextIO, write_header: bool, fieldnames: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, missing_values_placeholder: Optional[str] = None, allow_excess_values: bool = False)

Allows writing of dict values to a new or existing tsv file.

write_row(rowdict: Dict[str, Any]) → None

Writes a dict into the TSV as a single line

write_rows(rowdicts: Iterable[Dict[str, Any]])

Adds several dicts in the form of as many rows

class tsv2dict.ListConverter(type_list: List[Callable[[str], Any]])

An object that parses a list of strings into the types specified in type_list

class tsv2dict.Reader(f: Iterable[str])

Reads and unexcapes rows of tsv line by line.

class tsv2dict.Writer(f: TextIO)

Writes rows into a tsv file. Performs escaping.

write_row(cells: Iterable[Optional[str]]) → None

Writes a single row into a tsv file. Performs escaping.

tsv2dict.escape(cell: Optional[str]) → str

Make a string unambiguous when used in a tsv

tsv2dict.unescape(cell: str) → Optional[str]

Deserialize a string from the tsv storage format
