How to convert string values to integer values while reading a CSV file?

Question

When opening a CSV file, the column of integers is being converted to a string value (\'1\', \'23\', etc.). What\'s the best way to loop through to convert these back to intege

Answer 1

If the CSV has headers, I would suggest using csv.DictReader. With this you can do:

 with open('C:/Python27/testweight.csv', 'rb') as f:
    reader = csv.DictReader(f)
    for row in reader:
        integer = int(row['Name of Column'])
