Count how many records are in a CSV Python?

Question

I\'m using python (Django Framework) to read a CSV file. I pull just 2 lines out of this CSV as you can see. What I have been trying to do is store in a variable the total n

Answer 1

First you have to open the file with open

input_file = open("nameOfFile.csv","r+")

Then use the csv.reader for open the csv

reader_file = csv.reader(input_file)

At the last, you can take the number of row with the instruction 'len'

value = len(list(reader_file))

The total code is this:

input_file = open("nameOfFile.csv","r+")
reader_file = csv.reader(input_file)
value = len(list(reader_file))

Remember that if you want to reuse the csv file, you have to make a input_file.fseek(0), because when you use a list for the reader_file, it reads all file, and the pointer in the file change its position
