My reason for asking is I split a 2-column-csv (phone#, ref#) file into a dict and am trying to put duplicated phone numbers with different ref numbers into new dictionaries. The script deducts the duplicated 46 numbers but it only creates batch1.csv. Since I obviously can't see the wood for the trees here, can someone pls punch me into the right direction.... ...(No has_key is fine, its python 2.7) f = open("file.csv", 'r') myDict = {} Batch1 = {} Batch2 = {} Batch3 = {} for line in f: if line.startswith('Number' ): print "First line ignored..." else: k, v = line.split(',') myDict[k] = v f.close() for k, v in myDict.items(): if Batch1.has_key(k): if k in Batch2.has_key(k): Batch3[k] = v else: Batch2[k] = v else: Batch1[k] = v for k, v in Batch1.items(): newLine = "%s,%s" % (k, v) with open("batch1.csv", "a") as f: f.write(newLine) for k, v in Batch2.items(): newLine = "%s,%s" % (k, v) with open("batch2.csv", "a") as f: f.write(newLine) for k, v in Batch3.items(): newLine = "%s,%s" % (k, v) with open("batch3.csv", "a") as f: f.write(newLine)
