Question

csv的第一行有标题。这是我的csv示例行：

2013-07-31 00:00:00,,1.0,2013.0,7.0,Q3,21160742,32HHBS1307170203,KL0602130731,AIRFRANCE

如果我使用input_file = csv.DictReader(open("file.csv")或input_file = csv.reader(open('file.csv'))，我的所有对象都会变成字符串。

用python打印的一行：

'2013-08-31 00:00:00', '', '1.0', '2013.0', '8.0', 'Q3','C', '03J', '', '',
 '', '', 'nan', 'nan', '', 'NON-AIRPORT', 'SELF-SERVICE', 'ICI', '', '19.0', '20130819', 
'1.0', '19.0', '9.0', '20130901', '2.0', '1.0', '1.0', '1.0', '10.0', '5.0', '5.0', '3.0',
 '4.0', '4.0', '2.0', '2.0', '', 'nan', '2.0', '', '24854524', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 
'1.0', 'nan', '5.0', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 
'nan', '4.0', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 
'nan', 'nan', 'nan', '2.0', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 'nan', 
'nan', '3.0', '5.0', '5.0'

正如您所看到的，所有日期，字符串，浮点数和整数都已转换为字符串。我怎样才能正确导入它们？假设我们有400列数据，我无法手动定义每列的类型。

Answer 1

你正在向后看。并不是说它们被转换为字符串，而是它们是字符串，因为CSV不是保留类型信息的格式。你没有做任何事情把它们变成别的东西，Python也不会猜测。 Nan是一个漂浮物，还是一个祖母的亲切名字？ 3.0是浮动的，还是前卫的nerdcore蓝调乐队的名字？

如果您能想出一种算法来猜测类型，那么您可以应用它，当然：

import csv
import ast
import datetime

def guess_type(x):
    attempt_fns = [ast.literal_eval,
                   float,
                   lambda x: datetime.datetime.strptime(x, 
                                                    "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
                   ]
    for fn in attempt_fns:
        try:
            return fn(x)
        except (ValueError, SyntaxError):
            pass
    return x

with open("untyped.csv", "rb") as fp:
    reader = csv.reader(fp)
    for row in reader:
        row = [guess_type(x) for x in row]
        print row
        print map(type, row)

使用文件

2013-07-31 00:00:00,,1.0,2013.0,7.0,Q3,21160742,32HHBS1307170203,nan

以上代码将生成

[datetime.datetime(2013, 7, 31, 0, 0), '', 1.0, 2013.0, 7.0, 'Q3', 21160742, '32HHBS1307170203', nan]
[<type 'datetime.datetime'>, <type 'str'>, <type 'float'>, <type 'float'>, <type 'float'>, <type 'str'>, <type 'int'>, <type 'str'>, <type 'float'>]

这不错。

PS：如果您要在Python中使用CSV文件进行认真的工作，我强烈建议您查看pandas - 否则您将浪费时间重新实现其部分功能。

Answer 2

它们不会转换为字符串，它们已经是字符串开头。但是你可以尝试在阅读后将它们转换成浮点数：

假设row包含一行数据，那么您可以

newrow = []
for item in row:
    try:
        newrow.append(float(item))
    except ValueError:
        newrow.append(item)

CSV阅读器和DictReader将数字字段转换为字符串
