我正在尝试从morningstar下载CSV内容,然后解析其内容。如果我将HTTP内容直接注入Python的CSV解析器,结果格式不正确。但是,如果我将HTTP内容保存到文件(/tmp/tmp.csv),然后在python的csv解析器中导入文件,结果是正确的。换句话说,为什么:
def finDownload(code,report):
h = httplib2.Http('.cache')
url = 'http://financials.morningstar.com/ajax/ReportProcess4CSV.html?t=' + code + '®ion=AUS&culture=en_us&reportType='+ report + '&period=12&dataType=A&order=asc&columnYear=5&rounding=1&view=raw&productCode=usa&denominatorView=raw&number=1'
headers, data = h.request(url)
return data
balancesheet = csv.reader(finDownload('FGE','is'))
for row in balancesheet:
print row
返回:
['F']
['o']
['r']
['g']
['e']
[' ']
['G']
['r']
['o']
['u']
(etc...)
而不是:
[Forge Group Limited (FGE) Income Statement']
答案 0 :(得分:9)
问题是由于文件的迭代是逐行完成的,而字符串的迭代是逐个字符完成的。
你想要StringIO
/ cStringIO
(Python 2)或io.StringIO
(Python 3,感谢John Machin指点我)所以字符串可以被视为文件 - 喜欢对象:
Python 2:
mystring = 'a,"b\nb",c\n1,2,3'
import cStringIO
csvio = cStringIO.StringIO(mystring)
mycsv = csv.reader(csvio)
Python 3 :
mystring = 'a,"b\nb",c\n1,2,3'
import io
csvio = io.StringIO(mystring, newline="")
mycsv = csv.reader(csvio)
两者都会在引用字段中正确保留换行符:
>>> for row in mycsv: print(row)
...
['a', 'b\nb', 'c']
['1', '2', '3']
