Question

I have a set of csv headers that I am trying to match with uploads. It’s not really working. Not all headers are required — I just have to match what’s in the file.

reader = csv.DictReader(open(PathFile))
headers = reader.fieldnames
for header in sorted(set(headers)):
     if (header == 'ip') or (header == 'IP'):
         print  "IP found in Header"

In this case, IP is not found.

for row in reader:
     if row.get('IP'):
         print  "IP found in Row"

It’s not found again. I did search on this site — there was:

IP = row.get('IP', None)

That did not work either.

This is the file I’m using for testing:

Email, IP, Name, City, State, zip, country, garbage
[e-mail], 34.4.34.34,Mr GH, chicago, il ,60601, us,erw ewr 
[e-mail], 34.45.23.34, Mr 5t,NY,NY,10101, us, er

Answer 1

Based on your edit, you need to skip the initial space after the comma.

This should do it:

>>> reader = csv.DictReader(open(PathFile),skipinitialspace=True)
